Infectious diseases remain the leading cause of mortality and disability (loss of productive life years) in the world. In 2016, of the total 56.4 million deaths worldwide, 33% were due to infectious diseases, 30% to cardiovascular diseases and 10% to cancer. The fight against disease will have two simultaneous fronts: infectious diseases and chronic non-communicable diseases. 

Among the 17.3 million people who died from infections in 2016, the most frequent causes of death were lower respiratory infections (3.7 million), malaria (2.2 million), tuberculosis (1.3 million), diarrhea (1.4 million), and HIV/AIDS infection (1.1 million). The most important factors to take into consideration in relation to infectious diseases are demographics and human behavior, technological and industrial development, economic development and variations in land use, intercontinental travelling and commerce, climate change, microbiotic adaptation and finally the disappearance or reduction of efficient public health measures.

These factors, interacting with each other, have conditioned that we should not consider any part of the planet reasonably isolated from the rest, nor impossible the appearance, reappearance or dissemination of imported or apparently eradicated infectious diseases in our environment.
