Special features were soon added to emphasize the links between science, public health, and the human condition
Summary
With this volume, Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) turns 10—a time probably between childhood and adolescence in journal years. EID’s genesis stems from advice to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) promulgated by the 1992 Institute of Medicine report, Emerging Infections: Microbial Threats to Health in the United States (1). To make possible swift global dissemination of this compelling content, the journal would be fully electronic and be distributed free of charge, a concept being robustly discussed in 2005 by many editors and publishers under the topic of “open access.” Special features were soon added to emphasize the links between science, public health, and the human condition.
