Patterns and predictability in emerging infections.
Many seemingly novel infections have a long history as zoonoses, and perhaps in sporadic human hosts; they gain access to new host populations through ecologic changes and human activity. identification of patterns in the emergence of such illnesses--ranging from influenza and Lyme disease to Ebola fever and AIDS--suggests that worldwide surveillance may be more feasible than once thought.
