Recent years have seen outbreaks of previously unknown diseases; rapid spread of known diseases beyond geographic areas where they typically exist; and persistence of infectious diseases that cannot be controlled. The world is seeing diseases reemerge after they had significantly declined perhaps due to global travel and increased antibiotic resistance.

APIC has set up this page as a clearinghouse of resources for infection preventionists on emerging pathogens and infectious diseases. Please check back frequently for updates.
