    Snippet: D espite many therapeutic and epidemiological advances, infectious diseases-the number one cause of death among children-remain directly responsible for roughly 15 million (Ͼ25%) of the annual deaths that occur worldwide (1) . Of particular concern are emerging infections (EIs) that include novel entities like HIV/AIDS and severe acute respiratory syndrome and previously existing but rapidly spreading diseases like cholera and the plague (2, 3) .....
    Document: D espite many therapeutic and epidemiological advances, infectious diseases-the number one cause of death among children-remain directly responsible for roughly 15 million (Ͼ25%) of the annual deaths that occur worldwide (1) . Of particular concern are emerging infections (EIs) that include novel entities like HIV/AIDS and severe acute respiratory syndrome and previously existing but rapidly spreading diseases like cholera and the plague (2, 3) . Zoonosis is a rich source of such EI transmission into human hosts (4) , suggesting that pathogen surveillance of animals, as well as humans, is an important method of early detection of potential outbreaks and of capturing the entire biodiversity of a pathogen population at any given place and time.
