PROCESS OF EMERGENCE
Introduction of the agent into a new host population, originating from:
environment
another host species
variant of an existing human infection
Establishment and further dissemination within the new host population
from PH 301 lectures of Lilen Sarol, PhD

AGENT-RELATED FACTORS
Microbial adaptation
Mutation
Natural selection
antibiotic-resistant bacteria
Evolutionary progression
Virulence factors
from PH 301 lectures of Lilen Sarol, PhD

HOST-RELATED FACTORS
Human Susceptibility
immune status
nutrition
age
occupation, etc.
Human behavior and demographics
Affect disease dissemination

environment-related factors
(#1) Changing ecosystems / land use
Argentine, Bolivian hemorrhagic fever
changes in agriculture (grassland to maize) favoring rodent host
Hantaviruses
Ecological or environmental changes increasing contact with rodent hosts
Rift Valley fever
agriculture, irrigation

environment-related factors
(#2) Economic development
Dengue/DHF
urbanization favoring mosquito vector
Lassa fever
urbanization favoring rodent hosts, increasing exposure
