Enfermedades infecciosas emergentes

ln the last two decades a considerable increase in the incidence of transmisible diseases from animais to humans and viceversa has been observed. The predisponent causes are variable, all derived from the great increase of human population, along with the consequences, such as undernourishment and poverty in developing countries, as well as those emanated from the latest technological evolution in developed countries. The solution of these problems is therefore as complex as its causes and involves the joint action of goverments all over the world, as well as all scientific disciplines related with the health of mankind.
