Most of these newly emerging and re-emerging pathogens are viruses. On an average, more than two new species of viruses infecting humans are reported worldwide every year most of which are likely to be RNA viruses. Surveillance System, early detection, identification, characterization, containment, control and ultimately prevention of the emerging infectious diseases will require a good, functional national public health surveillance system. There is an urgent need to develop a network of diagnostic laboratories, especially in countries where epidemic infectious diseases are weak.
