Context: From prehistoric times, humans have suffered from diseases--both infectious diseases caused by various microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, viruses, and parasites) and various diseases which arise as our human body age and degenerate. A wide variety of infections with varying epidemic and pandemic potentials have emerged and re-emerged in recent times, such as Ebola, Nipah virus (NiV), and Monkey pox. Aim: This article intends to give a brief review on some of the infections re-emerging in the 21st century. Materials and methods: In this review, PubMed was searched for relevant English articles from 1981 to 2015. The keywords included in the search were: infectious diseases, re-emerging infections, Ebola, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). Conclusion: Invention of antibiotics and vaccines were thought to bring an end to infectious diseases. But emergence of new microbial pathogens and re-emergence of new strains of existing pathogens have increased the need for more research aimed at countering these infections. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
