When we say microbes these are tiny living things
Factors Contributing to Disease Emergence: that are found all around us and are too small to
be seen by the naked eye.
❑ 1. Microbial adaption - e.g., genetic drift and genetic shift in Influenza A
Microbial adaptation is the term used to describe the ability of microbes to endure the selective pressures of their environment.
❑ 2. Changing human susceptibility - e.g., mass immunocompromising with
HIV/AIDS means that liable to influence or harm for a particular things.
❑ 3. Climate and weather - e.g., diseases with zoonotic vectors such as West
Nile Disease (transmitted by mosquitoes) are moving further from the
tropics as the climate warms. Climate and weather can also be a factor of causing a disease to
exists and to be transmittable

of farmed cows leads to antibiotic resistance
❑ 6. Breakdown of public health - e.g., the current situation in Zimbabwe
❑ 7. Poverty and social inequality - e.g., tuberculosis is primarily a problem in
low- income areas
