During the past two decades, 30 diseases
that were all new to human
medicine emerged, while other
long-recognized diseases such as
malaria, cholera, and tuberculosis
resurged at a magnitude not seen in developed
countries since the 1850s. Similarly, apparently
emerging and resurging diseases are also affecting
marine mammals, often showing complex
pathogenesis patterns and sometimes involving
immunologic dysfunction. Florida Atlantic University.
