What did these Epidemic Infectious
Diseases have in Common?
• All were caused by zoonotic pathogens
• All spread by modern transportation
• Most had Asian origin
• Laboratory and clinical diagnoses were problematic
• Poor communication among countries
• Major economic impact

• Modern Pandemic (1894 – mid-1900s)

Pneumonic Plague in India
• Indian outbreak was a
major surprise – no plague
confirmed in India since
1966
• Clinical and lab diagnosis
• Media and panic driven
epidemic
• First epidemic to impact
global air transportation
• Caused huge economic
loss for India (> $3 billion)

 14th century, Europe discovers exotic goods from
Asia
Global Trade Flourishes
 18th, 19, 20th centuries

 Integrated global economic system with a
transnational flow of knowledge, capital, products,
people, animals, and pathogens
 Rapid spread of epidemic infectious disease from

The Global Threat of Epidemic
Infectious Diseases
Projected Global Trends
• Asian countries will lead in economic growth
• Asian Cities will lead in population growth
 Circular rural to urban migration
• Increased globalization
 Increased trade
 Increased movement of people, animals and commodities
 Increased movement of pathogens
• Increased probability of epidemic disease
• Increased threat to global economic security

The Armageddon virus: Why experts fear a
disease that leaps from animals to humans
could devastate mankind in the next five years
•Warning comes after man died from a Sars-like virus that had
previously only been seen in bats
•Earlier this month a man from Glasgow died from a tick-borne
disease that is widespread in domestic and wild animals in
Africa and Asia
Pathogens of Tomorrow
From Whence They Will Come?
From Asia
From Animals

Global Threat of Epidemic Infectious Diseases
Challenge to Reverse the Trend
•
•
•
•
Prevent movement of pathogens and vectors via modern
transportation
Improve international cooperation and data sharing
Improve effective laboratory-based surveillance
Rebuild public health infrastructure to prevent & control
vector-borne and zoonotic diseases
 Trained personnel
 Laboratory and epidemiologic capacity
 Tools (vaccines, drugs, insecticides, mosquito control, etc)
•
 Understanding disease ecology
Political will
 Economic support
 Regional prevention and control programs
