The IATF-EID convened in January 2020 to address the growing viral outbreak in Wuhan, China. [5] They made a resolution to manage the spreading of the new virus, [5] which was known at the time as 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) and eventually renamed to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19.

ISARIC was founded in 2011. [4] In 2012, ISARIC joined with the World Health Organization to launch the Clinical Characterisation Protocol (CCP) program. [5] Its founders cited the 2002–2004 SARS outbreak, 2009 swine flu outbreak and later 2012 MERS outbreak as inciting incidents for the creation of an open source platform for sharing clinical research on emerging infectious diseases.
Three current centers were placed under the Coordinating Office for Infectious Diseases and later the Deputy Director for Infectious Diseases. [14] The National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases is an indirect successor to the Center for Infectious Diseases, one of the original centers established in 1980. [1]
Scientific Advisory Group for Origins of Novel Pathogens (or SAGO) [1] [2] [3] is a permanent advisory body of the World Health Organization, formed in July 2021, with a broad objective to examine emerging infectious diseases, including COVID-19.
Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). [1] EID is a public domain [ 2 ] journal and covers global instances of new and reemerging infectious diseases , putting greater emphasis on disease emergence, prevention , control, and elimination.
An emerging infectious disease (EID) is an infectious disease whose incidence has increased recently (in the past 20 years), and could increase in the near future. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The minority that are capable of developing efficient transmission between humans can become major public and global concerns as potential causes of epidemics or ...
ProMED embodied this concept in the sphere of infectious disease reporting since its inception. It is estimated that 70% of emerging human diseases originate in other animal species – termed zoonotic diseases. As diseases in both animal and agriculture species have health implications for humans, ProMED includes posts on emerging animal ...
Cross-species transmission is the most significant cause of disease emergence in humans and other species. [citation needed] Wildlife zoonotic diseases of microbial origin are also the most common group of human emerging diseases, and CST between wildlife and livestock has appreciable economic impacts in agriculture by reducing livestock productivity and imposing export restrictions.
