Abstract
New infectious diseases, including both emerging infectious diseases and reemerging infectious diseases, have raised growing worldwide concerns. At the age of globalization in the Twenty-First Century, new infectious diseases pose a great threat to human health and property, and become a new challenge in both local and global public health systems. This paper first reviews definitions of new infectious diseases and the status of emerging and reemerging infectious diseases. Then it describes the worldwide distribution of new infectious diseases. Finally, it presents an analysis of important factors contributing to new infectious diseases including a combination of biological, environmental, ecological, social and economic factors.
