Description:
Infectious diseases are the third leading cause of death in the United States and the leading cause worldwide. As the new millennium approaches, the public health community must replenish capacity depleted during years of inadequate funding while simultaneously incorporating new technologies and planning for the longer term. Among the challenges facing the public health community is the need for coordinated, global, multisectoral approaches to preventing and controlling complex infectious disease problems.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Binder, S -- Levitt, A M -- Sacks, J J -- Hughes, J M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 May 21;284(5418):1311-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Parasitic Diseases, National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), F-22, 4770 Buford Highway, NE, Atlanta, GA 30341, USA. scb1@cdc.gov〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10334978" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
