African Journal of Infectious Diseases
The African Journal of Infectious Diseases covers research on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, epidemiology, and treatment of infectious diseases, the impact of infectious agents on the environment, and related disciplines.
International Conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases
The ICEID or International Conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases is a conference for public health professionals on the subject of emerging infectious diseases.
From CDC page for ICEID:
The International Conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases was first convened in 1998; ICEID 2006 marks its fifth occurrence.
The conference brings together public health professional to encourage the exchange of scientific and public health information on global emerging infectious disease issues.
The program will include plenary and panel sessions with invited speakers as well as oral and poster presentations on emerging infections.
Major topics include current work on surveillance, epidemiology, research, communication and training, bioterrorism, and preventions and control of emerging infectious diseases, both in the United States and abroad.
Alliance for Biosecurity
The Alliance for Biosecurity is a consortium of companies that develop products to respond to national security threats, including bioterrorism pathogens and emerging infectious diseases.
It is headquartered in Washington DC.

Emerging Infectious Diseases (journal)
Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
EID is a public domain journal and covers global instances of new and reemerging infectious diseases, putting greater emphasis on disease emergence, prevention, control, and elimination.
According to Journal Citation Reports, the journal's 2016 impact factor is 6.99, ranking it 4th out of 82 journals in the infectious disease category.
The journal also has a 2016 Google Scholar h5-index score of 79, ranking it 2nd in both the epidemiology category and among open-access epidemiological journals, as well as 4th in the communicable diseases category and 1st among open-access communicable disease journals.
Yuen Kwok-yung
Yuen Kwok- yung( 袁國勇), GBS, JP is a Hong Kong microbiologist, physician and surgeon.
He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians( Lond, Edin, Irel, HK), Surgeons( Glas, HK) and Pathologists( UK, HK).
After years of clinical and laboratory training, he established the infectious disease service and rapid molecular diagnosis for cytomegalovirus and tuberculosis at the Queen Mary Hospital, the teaching hospital of the University of Hong Kong.
His major research interest is on microbial hunting and novel microbes in emerging infectious diseases.
Yuen graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Hong Kong in 1981 with distinction in Medicine.
Initially trained as a surgeon, he switched successfully to a physician and, subsequently, a clinical microbiologist.
In the outbreak of avian influenza virus H5N1 in 1997 in Hong Kong, Yuen was the first to report in Lancet about the unusual clinical severity and high mortality of infected patients, which could be identified by the in- house molecular test at his laboratory.
During the global outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome( SARS) in 2003, he led his team in the discovery of the" SARS coronavirus", being honoured as" Asian heroes of the year" in April by Time Asia Magazine.
Subsequently, he found the natural reservoir of" SARS coronavirus" like virus in Chinese horseshoe bat and renewed the interest of bats as the source of novel microbes causing emerging infectious diseases.
His research laboratory has also identified over 40 new viruses, 9 bacteria, 2 fungi and 2 parasites of which some are suspected or confirmed pathogens:" coronavirus HKU1bat coronavirus HKU2" and others, bovine and porcine hokovirus( now called" Tetraparvovirus") and" Laribacter hongkongensis" in fish and human.
Yuen is currently the Chair of Infectious Disease at the Department of Microbiology of the University of Hong Kong.
He co-directs the State Key Laboratory of Emerging Infectious Disease of China in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of PRC.
He was the founding co-director of the Hong Kong University- Pasteur Research Centre.
His over 700 publications( with over 15,000 citations) in peer reviewed journals including Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, Science, Journal of Virology and PNAS, mainly pertain to novel microbe discovery and agents of emerging infectious diseases.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the leading national public health institute of the United States.
The CDC is a United States federal agency under the Department of Health and Human Services and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
Its main goal is to protect public health and safety through the control and prevention of disease, injury, and disability in the US and internationally.
The CDC focuses national attention on developing and applying disease control and prevention.
It especially focuses its attention on infectious disease, food borne pathogens, environmental health, occupational safety and health, health promotion, injury prevention and educational activities designed to improve the health of United States citizens.
In addition, the CDC researches and provides information on non-infectious diseases such as obesity and diabetes and is a founding member of the International Association of National Public Health Institutes.
Infectious Diseases Society of America
The Infectious Diseases Society of America( IDSA) is a medical association representing physicians, scientists and other health care professionals who specialize in infectious diseases.
It was founded in 1963 and is based in Arlington, Virginia.
As of 2018 IDSA had more than 11,000 members from across the United States and nearly 100 other countries on six different continents.
IDSA's purpose is to improve the health of individuals, communities, and society by promoting excellence in patient care, education, research, public health, and prevention relating to infectious diseases.
It is a 501( c)( 6) organization.
Robert Shope
Robert Ellis Shope( February 21, 1929 – January 19, 2004) was an American virologist, epidemiologist and public health expert, particularly known for his work on arthropod- borne viruses and emerging infectious diseases.
He discovered more novel viruses than any person previously, including members of the" Arenavirus HantavirusLyssavirus" and" Orbivirus" genera of RNA viruses.
He researched significant human diseases, including dengue, Lassa fever, Rift Valley fever, yellow fever, viral hemorrhagic fevers and Lyme disease.
He had an encyclopedic knowledge of viruses, and curated a global reference collection of over 5,000 viral strains.
He was the lead author of a groundbreaking report on the threat posed by emerging infectious diseases, and also advised on climate change and bioterrorism.
