WHY is it critical to understand underlying causes of emerging diseases?
Also, as many governments have increased spending to counter the threat of emerging diseases and bioterrorism, many laboratories have hired more people.
We are interested in three broad research areas: i) ecology of emerging diseases, ii) pathogen transmission biology, and iii) insect-microbe interactions.
Veterinary diagnostic laboratories help provide early detection of emerging diseases and play an increasing role in biosurveillance for antibiotic-resistant bacteria that affect humans.
The information gleaned from investigating the circumstances of strandings and performing necropsies on the corpses helps to inform conservation efforts, and acts as an early warning system in case of emerging diseases or other hazards for marine mammals.
Diseases spill over from managed or invasive pollinators to native wild bee species, and impacts of emerging diseases are of particular concern, threatening pollinator populations and pollination services.
Dr Daszak is a co-author of a study published in this week's Nature that maps the global "hot spots" of emerging diseases and concludes, as Dr Wolfe has, that the real threat lies in the tropics.
In the diagnostic setting, it is particularly valuable in the surveillance of emerging diseases and potential bioterrorism viruses.
SS systems are no longer used exclusively for outbreak detection and early detection of emerging diseases (Paterson and Durrheim 2013; Rosenkotter et al. 2014; Buehler et al. 2009).
