Abstract

Some time ago, it was believed that medicine and hygiene advances would give up with risks arising from infective diseases, nevertheless, the world today is far from that expectation.Whereas infective diseases are still globally worldwide the first death cause, and the third cause of mortality at developed countries, new diseases are appearing more frequently, caused both by recently discovered pathogens or reappeared agents believed eradicated or in the way of eradication.Within emergent pathogens, we remark, basing on number and prevalence, viruses such as those causing AIDS, some hemorrhagic fevers as Ebola, dengue or Lassa, SARS, and recently chicken influenza.
