emergence of new and re emerging infectious diseases

Why Do Infectious Diseases Re-emerge?

Several factors contribute to the re-emergence of infectious diseases:
Lack of Immunization: Gaps in vaccination coverage can lead to outbreaks of diseases like measles.
Antimicrobial Resistance: The misuse and overuse of antibiotics have led to the rise of drug-resistant pathogens, making infections harder to treat.
Socioeconomic Factors: Poverty, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, and urban overcrowding can exacerbate the spread of infectious diseases.
Climate Change: Changes in climate can alter the distribution of vectors, such as mosquitoes, leading to the spread of vector-borne diseases like dengue and malaria.
