This year we commemorate the centennial of the global 1918 influenza pandemic, one of the most catastrophic events of the past century, that killed millions and wreaked havoc on the global economy. Although infectious diseases, such as influenza, have caused massive mortality and morbidity rates in the twentieth century, in 2018 attention has shifted from infectious diseases to chronic diseases. While we have made great strides to reduce the number of deaths due to infectious diseases since the 1918 pandemic, humanity again faces the threat of emerging and reemerging infectious diseases in a rapidly changing and increasingly connected world.
