The top five emerging infectious diseases likely to cause global outbreaks are:
H5N1 Avian Influenza: Highly pathogenic, with potential for human-to-human transmission, especially from poultry/cattle.
SARS-CoV-3: A potential new coronavirus from Asian bats, following SARS and SARS-CoV-2, with high transmissibility.
Mpox: Increasing cases, with symptoms resembling smallpox, posing risks due to vaccine discontinuation.
Dengue/Chikungunya/Zika: Mosquito-borne viruses spreading due to climate change and urbanization, causing severe illness.
Candida auris: A drug-resistant fungal infection rapidly spreading in healthcare settings globally.
These diseases, driven by zoonotic transmission, climate change, and antimicrobial resistance, threaten global health security. 0 reply
