Emerging infections can be caused by:
- Beforehand undetected or obscure
irresistible agents

new geographic areas or new populaces
- Previously known specialists whose
part in particular illnesses has already gone unrecognized.

occurrence of disease had fundamentally declined previously, however whose
frequency of that diseases has returned. This class of infections is known as
re-emerging infectious diseases.
