As of March 15 2025, The Communication Initiative (The CI) platform is operating at a reduced level, with no new content being posted to the global website and registration/login functions disabled. (La Iniciativa de Comunicación, or CILA, will keep running.) While many interactive functions are no longer available, The CI platform remains open for public use, with all content accessible and searchable until the end of 2025. 

Please note that some links within our knowledge summaries may be broken due to changes in external websites. The denial of access to the USAID website has, for instance, left many links broken. We can only hope that these valuable resources will be made available again soon. In the meantime, our summaries may help you by gleaning key insights from those resources. 

A heartfelt thank you to our network for your support and the invaluable work you do.

Emerging Infectious Diseases

0 comments
The Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) journal is published monthly by the National Center for Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The journal is designed to "promote the recognition of new and re-emerging infectious diseases around the world and improve the understanding of factors involved in disease emergence, prevention, and elimination". Issues addressed in this journal include:
  • New infections resulting from changes or evolution of existing organisms
  • Known infections spreading to new geographic areas or populations
  • Previously unrecognised infections appearing in areas undergoing ecologic transformation
  • Old infections re-emerging as a result of antimicrobial resistance in known agents or breakdowns in public health measures.
 While Emerging Infectious Diseases is the scientific communications component of the CDC, the journal is a peer reviewed publication accepting articles from authors around the world covering issues of global concern. The journal includes research, policy analysis, historical views, commentaries, synopses and letters.
