The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the agency of
the U.S. Public Health Services charged with disease prevention and
health promotion, leads efforts against emerging infections, from
AIDS, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, and avian flu, to tuberculosis
and West Nile virus infection. CDC's efforts encompass
improvements in disease surveillance, the public health
infrastructure, and epidemiologic and laboratory training.
Emerging Infectious Diseases represents the scientific
communications component of CDC's efforts against the threat of
emerging infections. However, even as it addresses CDC's interest in
the elusive, continuous, evolving, and global nature of these
infections, the journal relies on a broad international authorship
base and is rigorously peer-reviewed by independent reviewers from all
over the world.
