• About Emerging Diseases
Emerging Infectious diseases that may be transmitted between animals and humans are a concern for all people, no matter what their age, gender, lifestyle, ethnic background, or economic status.

• Why Emerging Diseases?
Understanding how diseases spread between hosts is of major importance. Emerging diseases are often zoonotic, that is; diseases that may be transmitted between humans and animals.

• Partners in disease eradication and preparedness
Michigan is fortunate to have agencies and organizations jointly participating in the surveillance, control, and/or eradication of diseases concerning humans, wildlife and domestic animals.
