  18. EMERGING AND RE-EMERGING DISEASES Emerging – diseases that have not occurred in humans before or that occurred only in small numbers in isolated areas. Re-emerging – diseases that once were major health problems globally or in a particular area, and then declined dramatically, but are again becoming health problems for a significant proportion of the population. Diseases thought to be adequately controlled making a “comeback” are “re-emerging”.

  19. EMERGING DISEASES MERS – Middle East Respiratory Syndrome In the same family of coronaviruses as SARS, which killed at least 775 people after it emerged in China in late 2002. MERS, which first appeared in Saudi Arabia in September, has been kicking around the Middle East for nearly a year, infecting at least 79 people. It causes fever, cough and shortness of breath, and so far it has been a killer — about half the confirmed cases so far have resulted in death. On July 9 the World Health Organization (WHO) convened an emergency meeting to determine whether the new coronavirus that causes MERS constitutes a public-health emergency of international concern.

  20. The good news is that a recent report published in the Lancetindicates that the virus has a relatively low level of infectiousness — less so than the measles and strong cases of the flu — which may limit its potential to ignite a global pandemic. A similar lack of infectiousness also kept SARS from becoming a lasting global menace, though the disease did cause nearly $50 billion in damages. But there’s no guarantee that MERS won’t mutate or worsen over time. And even if it doesn’t, there will always be new infectious diseases waiting to emerge.

  21. RE-EMERGING DISEASES Tuberculosis (TB) TUBERCULOSIS CASE DETECTION RATE (ALL FORMS) IN MALAYSIA (World Bank report, 2012)

  22. Other types of re-emerging diseases Malaria Schistosomiasis Any other examples you can give me?

  23. What can you do to save the human race from problems that you just saw? What will happen if the problems are not looked into or solved ASAP?

  24. Thank you for your attention !!
