title: [Emerging parasitosis ans mycosis: risk and threats for the new millenium].
abstract: For multiple reasons, the emergent infectious risks do not stop increasing these last twenty years. The climatic modifications and the human interventions modifying the biotope as well as the rapid spreading of resistant strains to treatments, generate re-emergence or emergence, all the more dramatic as the means of fight are reduced. These emergent or re-emergent diseases are extremely worrisome as their diagnosis and their prevention are often difficult. The important infesting power of parasites and the particularly effective capacities of adaptation of these eucaryotes contributed to the public health problems. Anthropozoonoses and zoonoses constitute a permanent risk the control of which is imaginary. The new pathogenic agents, the unusual clinical demonstrations in the context of deficiency of the host immune functions imply attentiveness and a permanent up to date of the knowledge of the biologist and of the different professionals of health. The risks with which are confronted the humanity during this century underline the necessity of determining mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis. The determination of the specific and vital biologic processes for the microorganism, could allow to define the most appropriated targets and the most effective and original means of fight.
