"Emerging infectious diseases" as a book category covers works that examine the appearance, reappearance, and spread of infectious pathogens—often new, previously rare, or drug-resistant—that pose public-health challenges. Titles in this category span scientific and clinical analyses (epidemiology, pathogen biology, diagnostics, treatment and vaccine development), One Health perspectives (zoonoses, environmental and animal-human interfaces), outbreak investigation and surveillance, public‑health policy and preparedness, and the social, economic and ethical impacts of epidemics and pandemics. Books may be technical textbooks, research monographs, case studies of specific outbreaks, practical guides for clinicians and responders, or narrative journalism and memoirs that explore human and societal responses to emerging threats. This category is useful for researchers, health professionals, policymakers, students, and informed general readers seeking to understand how infectious threats arise, are detected, managed, and prevented.
