Factors in Disease Emergence • Ecological factors – Human demography and activities – Industrialization, deforestation, agriculture – Global human and animal movements – Climate change • Individual host factors – E.g. immunosuppression, co-infections (e.g (HIV) • Pathogen factors (e.g. mutation, recombination, genetic drift) – Evolution of new virulent strains – Evolution of drug resistance
