The recent SARS outbreak is a prime example. Knowing neither geographic nor political borders, often arriving silently and lethally, microbial pathogens constitute a grave threat to the health of humans. Indeed, a majority of countries recently identified the spread of infectious disease as the greatest global problem they confront. Throughout history, humans have struggled to control both the causes and consequences of infectious diseases and we will continue to do so into the foreseeable future. Following up on a high-profile 1992 report from the Institute of Medicine, Microbial Threats to Health examines the current state of knowledge and policy pertaining to emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases from around the globe. It examines the spectrum of microbial threats, factors in disease emergence, and the ultimate capacity of the United States to meet the challenges posed by microbial threats to human health. From the impact of war or technology on disease emergence to the development of enhanced disease surveillance and vaccine strategies, Microbial Threats to Health contains valuable information for researchers, students, health care providers, policymakers, public health officials. and the interested public. 606 $aCommunicable diseases$zUnited States 606 $aPublic health$zUnited States 615 0$aCommunicable diseases 615 0$aPublic health 676 $a614.5/7 701 $aHamburg$b Margaret A$0283367 701 $aLederberg$b Joshua$095738 701 $aSmolinski$b Mark S$0283368 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bCommittee on Emerging Microbial Threats to Health in the 21st Century. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965681903321 996 $aMicrobial threats to health$94362397 997 $aUNINA
