Before revision:  For diseases which do not confer immunity to recovered individuals, we prove that if the time scale at which individuals receive information is sufficiently rapid compared to the time scale at which the disease spreads, then cooperation emerges , and the disease can be controlled . For non-recurring diseases which do confer immunity to recovered individuals, the dynamics predict that all individuals evolve to 'defect. '
After revision:  For diseases which do not confer immunity to recovered individuals, we prove that if the time scale at which individuals receive information is sufficiently rapid compared to the time scale at which the disease spreads, then cooperation emerges , and the disease can be controlled , and the rate of infections tends to zero. Our model is based on theoretical mathematics and therefore unconstrained to any single context. For example, the disease spreading model considered here could also be used to describe social and group dynamics. In this sense, we may have discovered a fundamental and novel mechanism for the evolution of cooperation in a broad sense.
