新出现的人畜共患疾病在公共卫生和动物卫生中的重要性日益增加，因为过去几年中出现了源源不断的新疾病，每种疾病都来自未被怀疑的地区，并对动物和人类造成严重问题。疾病出现的原因是多方面的，但有两个主要因素-人口膨胀和贸易全球化。当前的问题，如各种动物物种的日益增加的运动，生态破坏，不可培养的生物体和恐怖主义，都意味着新出现的人畜共患病将在所有的可能性，不仅继续发生，但将增加其出现的速度。危机的反复发生性质决定了兽医和医学界必须更密切地结合起来，沿着的是对公众和决策者的更好教育。
Emerging zoonotic diseases have assumed increasing importance in public and animal health, as the last few years have seen a steady stream of new diseases, each emerging from an unsuspected quarter and causing severe problems for animals and humans. The reasons for disease emergence are multiple, but there are two main factors - expansion of the human population and globalisation of trade. Current issues such as the increasing movement of a variety of animal species, ecological disruption, uncultivatable organisms, and terrorism, all imply that emerging zoonotic diseases will in all probability, not only continue to occur, but will increase in the rate of their emergence. The recurring nature of the crises dictates that closer integration of veterinary and medical communities is warranted, along with improved education of the general public and policy makers.
