Age of Viruses Name: Institution What are the attributes of a particularly dangerous emerging infectious disease? Dangerous and emerging infectious diseases are highly infective. They can be easily transmitted between humans and from animals to humans. They can also be transmitted through mere contact and body fluids ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : , "container-title" : "Emerging Infectious Diseases", "id" : "ITEM-1", "issue" : "1", "issued" : { "date-parts" : ] }, "page" : "7-15", "title" : "Factors in the emergence of infectious diseases", "type" : "article-journal", "volume" : "1" }, "uris" : } ], "mendeley" : { "formattedCitation" : "(Morse, 1995)", "plainTextFormattedCitation" : "(Morse, 1995)", "previouslyFormattedCitation" : "(Morse, 1995)" }, "properties" : { }, "schema" : "https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json" }(Morse, 1995). Many of these infectious diseases are a high hazard or high case fatality. They are known to cause death within a short period of time in mass numbers. Many of these infectious diseases’ reservoirs are indefinite and unknown. They lack efficacious treatment measures. These diseases are highly adaptable in the sense that they can be active and inert at the same time. Such infectious diseases can be produced in large masses within a short period of time. What features of modern society influence dissemination of viral diseases of this nature? Many viral diseases have taken the advantage of societal features such as the close proximity of animals and human beings. Another feature has been the ease of travel. Air travel has been earmarked as a critical risk factor for the
