ABSTRACT

Over the past four decades 62 new infectious agents have emerged and 14 re-emerged, bringing about numerous epidemic outbreaks and two pandemics, with a high cost in human lives and economic losses. This phenomenon is not new, and has its origin in the environmental, social, climatic, ecological and behavioral changes resulting from the human demographic explosion –which currently exceeds 7 billion. Through human history, there have been three previous transitions that have led to the emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases; in this article they are analyzed from a historical point of view.
