The emerging infectious disease is
the unwanted situation in public health. However, there are several new emerging infectious diseases within the past decade. The good examples are the
set of new zoonotic atypical influenza infection and the Middle East
Respiratory Syndrome.
The consideration on the worldwide outbreak of the new
emerging infectious disease is set. An interesting point is the trend of bio terrorism using the new emerging infectious pathogen. In response to
possible terrorism, the set of good surveillance system is needed. The coverage
on “countermeasure against bioterrorism attacks and other emergencies” is
needed. This topic will be further discussed in this editorial.
