There is growing evidence that environmental contaminants represent a conservation-level concern in some marine mammal populations, by contributing to an increased vulnerability to infection by natural or emergent pathogens. In this light, those marine mammals that are most contaminated with persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are most vulnerable to adverse health effects. Those species that occupy high trophic levels in aquatic food webs are typically the most contaminated [47 19],...

Both persons had lived in the same residence. These were the first reported cases in the Hantavirus outbreak that occurred that year in the southwestern United States, in the 1999 West Nile virus outbreak in New York City, a physician noted that patients with similar clinical signs had presented for treatment at the same hospital and alerted public health authorities (Asnis, Conetta, Teixeira, Waldman, Sampson, 2000 Fine Layton, 2001). in each of these examples, it was the recognition of an unusual pattern that prompted further investigation and the ultimate discovery of new or newly emerging pathogens.

Historically, the four most important arboviral pathogens in the United States were the St. Louis virus, the La Crosse virus, and the eastern and western equine viruses. However, the West Nile virus has been recognized as an emerging pathogen and has been implicated in an epidemic occurring in the United States since 1999. Transmission of these viruses occurs through the bites of mosquitoes. Typically, an incubation period of 2 to 14 days precedes the onset of clinical...

From the standpoint of disease control, these findings underscore the need for rapid vaccine development capabilities to permit the creation of new vaccines (for cholera as well as for other possible emergent pathogens) to match whatever new antigenic combination may appear. As a case study, based on our research, we were able to develop a polysaccharide conjugate vaccine rapidly that was protective in animals...
