Description:	The emergence and resurgence of infectious diseases reflect macro changes or intensification of trends that have occurred throughout history, in both global economy and human ecology: increasing poverty in large segments of the world population, resulting in high rural-to-urban migration and high-density peri-urban slums; increasing long-distance mobility due to globalization, trade and tourism; the social disruptions of war, conflict, and insecurity; and, increasingly, intense human–animal interactions and changes in the way that food is processed and distributed. Globalization continues, and there is little doubt that societal, technological, and environmental factors will continue to provoke a dramatic increase in infectious diseases worldwide.
