| Emerging infections
Emerging infections are diseases that have recently appeared within a population or have existed but are rapidly increasing in incidence or geographic range. These diseases pose a continuous threat to global health, challenging our preparedness and response capabilities. ESCMID created the Emerging Infections Subcommittee to offer its strategic perspective, advising on matters related to the surveillance, monitoring, preparedness, and response to emerging infections.
The subcommittee aims to timely recognise emerging infections by continuously monitoring and analysing epidemiological signals from different networks and sources, and to communicate and educate about emerging infections.
