Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Infectious diseases are constantly in transition. New diseases emerge, known diseases become widespread or re-emerge and some diseases are eradicated. Over the past few decades, the world has seen increased outbreaks of diseases that were once better controlled or occurred rarely, such as plague, tuberculosis and the Ebola virus. Other known diseases, such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), have become increasingly common. New infectious agents that often cause incurable diseases; such as HIV and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV); those have also been identified and are becoming a significant cause of illness and death in many parts of the world.
