Emerging diseases are diseases that appear in a population for the first time, or that may have existed previously but are rapidly increasing in incidence or geographic range. Environmental changes, human and animal demography, pathogen changes and changes in farming practice are among the factors that lead to emerging diseases. Social and cultural factors such as food habits and religious beliefs play a role too. 1, record 1, English, - emerging%20disease

Les maladies émergentes sont celles qui apparaissent dans une population pour la première fois, ou qui existaient sans doute auparavant et connaissent une augmentation soudaine en termes d'incidence ou de distribution géographique. Les changements environnementaux, la démographie humaine et animale, l'évolution des agents pathogènes et les modifications des pratiques d'élevage sont des facteurs qui sont à l'origine de maladies émergentes. Les facteurs sociaux et culturels, comme les habitudes alimentaires et les croyances religieuses, jouent également un rôle. 2, record 1, French, - maladie%20%C3%A9mergente

Por primera vez en la historia de la humanidad una enfermedad emergente ha llevado al confinamiento a todo el planeta, y puede haber dado origen a lo que algunos denominan la era pandémica. Tres características lo han hecho posible: un virus completamente nuevo, muy eficiente en la transmisión y con una morbimortalidad muy elevada; una tormenta perfecta. 1, record 1, Spanish, - enfermedad%20emergente

In order to provide a framework ensuring appropriate aquatic animal pathogen containment in Canada, a containment classification system has been developed that is similar to the systems used for human, plant, and terrestrial animal pathogens. The classification system for aquatic animal pathogens consists of three levels : AQC1, AQC2 and AQC3, with associated in vitro and in vivo requirements for AQC2 and AQC3. 1, record 6, English, - aquatic%20animal%20pathogen%20containment
