Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases are increasing worldwide. Over the last thirty
years, more than 30 new human pathogens have been discovered, including Ebola, Nipah,
Hendra, Zika, Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle-East respiratory syndrome
(MERS), Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and 75% of these are known to originate from
animals. Viruses are potent infectious agents causing numerous life-threatening diseases in
human beings and co-evolved with human evolution. Emerging viruses, especially the RNA
viruses, have high potential to adapt rapidly to a new host and changing environments than
other pathogens. Many factors related to host, enviroment and microorganisms that have
been increasing in recent years bring new emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases to
the agenda.
