Received: Dec 1, 2016 Accepted: Jan 3, 2017 Published: Mar 14, 2017 Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) are newly identified or known infectious diseases that have either expanded in geographic range or increased in infection prevalence over the previous two decades. During the last three decades, more than 30 EIDs have surfaced worldwide, including deadly diseases such as SARS, severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), Ebola, Marburg virus disease, Nipah virus disease, hepatitis C, and AIDS.EIDs can not only cause suffering and death in patients but also hinder commercial trade and travel, and create fear or even widespread panic in society. The challenge for the medical community is to effectively recognize and diagnose EIDs. The present study reports our experience in identification and diagnosis of EIDs. Keywords: Emerging infectious diseases; Pathogen; Identification; Diagnosis Introduction C lassical infectious diseases such as polio, smallpox, plagues, and measles are now largely under control because of education, improved living conditions, enhanced nutrition, and effective use of vaccines and antibiotics. However, despite remarkable advances in medical research and treatments in the 20th century, infectious diseases remain one of the leading cause of death worldwide[1]. Most important infectious diseases in the present day are emerging infectious diseases (EIDs), such as AIDS and Ebola. The term, “emerging infectious disease” was coined in 1992 by the US National Academy of Science’s Institute of Medicine (IOM) in its landmark publication, “Emerging Infections: Microbial Threats to Health in the United States”. An EID could be a newly appeared disease or a known disease whose incidence or geographic range is rapidly increasing, or threatens to increase, in the near future within a population. The duration of emerging infections is defined as two decades[2]. A severe EID poses a serious potential threat to public health because society is unprepared for diagnosis and control due to its lack of knowledge and diagnostic methods. The present study reviews the factors affecting the emergence of infectious diseases and strategies for diagnosis and prevention of EIDs. 1. Factors affecting EIDs Many factors may affect the emergence of new infectious diseases or the re-emergence of “old”/known infectious diseases (Table 1)[2].However, the most significant factors for EIDs include: (1) genetic evolution of human pathogens; (2) cross-species spread of pathogens from animals into the human population;(3) geographic range change of known infectious diseases; and (4) emergence of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. In the first three, new pathogens will emerge in a population, and affect diagnosis, prevention, and control of these emerging diseases due to unpreparedness for diagnosis. In the fourth scenario, no new pathogen has emerged, though the infection can lead to inadequate or delayed antimicrobial therapy, and is associated with worse patient outcomes. The focus herein is on the first three scenarios with emergence of new pathogens. 1.1 Evolution of human pathogens Genome assortment is the major reason many viruses can change in virulence. Reassortment is the mixing of the genetic segments of two multi-segmented RNA viruses into a 12 Infect Dis Transl Med 2017;3(1):12-16. Identification and Diagnosis of Newly Emerging Pathogens Table1.

The genome of the influenza A virus consists of eight RNA segments. This RNA is replicated in the nucleus of the host cell. The new segments are transported to the cytoplasm and then assembled into new virus particles that bud from the cell. When two virus strains infect a single host cell, the RNA segments of both viruses may be assembled into a single virus at the plasma membrane. This reasserted strain may possess properties of both parental strains. Moreover, domestic and wild animals such as pigs, chickens, and ducks are natural influenza virus hosts, serving as mixing vessels for creating reassortment of the influenza virus. The reassortment may obtain the ability to invade human cells, posing a potential disaster for the human population, which is not immune to the previously nonexistent virus. Reassortment is responsible for some of the major influenza virus epidemics throughout history. The 1957 and 1968 pandemic flus were caused by a reassortment of an avian virus and a human virus[3]. Avian H5N1 influenza (or bird flu) causes death in more than half of all cases, but it is limited in causing human infection because it lacks efficient ability to pass between humans, whereas the 2009 H1N1 influenza (or swine flu virus) carried an unusual mix of swine, avian, and human influenza genetic sequences, and transmitted easily among humans. Fortunately, the H1N1 virus was much less deadly than H5N1. Emergence of an influenza virus as deadly as H5N1 and capable of spreading from person to person could pose a global-scale threat for public health. Deadly pathogens can travel at high speeds around the world via airplane an passenger, which quickly spreads the pathogens across borders and overseas. 1.2 Cross-species spread of pathogens from animals into human population EIDs are new diseases in the human population, but their pathogens may have already existed in their natural invertebrate or vertebrate animal hosts for million years. When humans interact with the animal hosts, infectious agents in animals are passed to the humans, causing EIDs. These pathogens have co-evolved with their animal hosts for millions of years and are usually low or non-pathogenic to these natural hosts. However, when transmitted into a human population they may cause deadly diseases. The frequency of zoonosis emerging in a human population will rise as results of human popula13 Infectious Diseases and Translational Medicine tion intrude into new geographical regions, such as what occurs destruction of forested areas, or through increased animal population due to farming or the increased natural population of wild animals. Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging hemorrhagic fever caused by the tick-borne bunyavirus SFTSV. SFTS was first reported in China in 2011, while SFTSV may have been circulating in central China for centuries before spreading rapidly to other parts of the country by way of animals and ticks. In recent years the tick population has increased due to the rising populations of farm animals. 1.3 Geographic range change of old/known infectious diseases An old/known infectious disease may change its geographic range and emerge in a new location. This is mainly what occurred in the mosquito-borne virus genus Flavivirus including West Nile virus (WNV), Zika virus, and Chikungunya virus. These viruses were spread into new areas by their vectors and through host animals. Flaviviruses are enveloped, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA viruses around 10,000–11,000 bases with a diameter of 40–65 nm. Most such viruses are transmitted by the bite of an infected arthropod (mosquito or tick) and thus classified as arboviruses. 1.3.1 Spread of West Nile virus WNV was first isolated from a febrile patient from the West Nile district of Northern Uganda in 1937[4].Subsequently WNV epidemics were reported in the Mediterranean basin in the 1950s and 1960s in Israel and Egypt[5-7]. In 1996, the frequency, severity, and geographic range of the outbreaks dramatically increased. Outbreaks of WNV meningitis and encephalitis primarily affecting adults were also reported that year in Bucharest, Romania[8]. This was the first urban WNV outbreak, and most symptomatic cases involved central nervous system infection[9], suggesting the virus’ changing epidemiology[10]. WNV crossed the Atlantic Ocean and reached the United States in the summer of 1999 when a cluster of patients with encephalitis was reported in the metropolitan New York City area, and within 3 years the virus had spread to most of the contiguous United States, and neighboring Canada and Mexico[11]. WNV has also been found in Central and South America and in west China through surveillance studies of field specimens, suggesting a potential risk for an outbreak in humans in these areas[12]. Since its discovery in the 1980s, WNV has spread across a vast region of the globe and will continue to other areas where its vector Culex mosquitoes exist. 1.3.2 Spread of Zika virus infection Zika virus is transmitted by many Aedes spp. mosquitoes. It was identified in 1947 in rhesus monkeys during sylvatic yellow fever surveillance in the Zika Forest in Uganda, and was reported in humans in 1952[13].The virus circulated in forests among wild primates and arboreal mosquitoes, such as Aedes africanus[14]. Since the first 14 description of Zika virus infection, the virus was thought to only cause mild and sporadic human infections in Africa and Asia. The profile of Zika dramatically changed during the large-scale outbreaks in Micronesia, French Polynesia, and New Caledonia, respectively in 2007 and 2013–2014[15-17]. A new challenge has arisen in Zika’s global spread. A widespread Zika epidemic was reported in South and Central America and the Caribbean in 2015,with apparent increased incidence of microcephaly in fetuses born to infected mothers posing a major concern[18]. As of July 13, 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) had reported 65 countries and territories had given evidence of Zika virus transmission since 2007, including 48 with their first reported outbreak in or after 2015[19]. 1.3.3 Spread of Chikungunya virus Chikungunya is a viral disease that causes fever and severe joint pain. The Chikungunya virus was first isolated after a 1952–1953 epidemic in Tanzania. The virus circulates in sub-Saharan forest regions of Africa, involving nonhuman primate hosts and arboreal mosquito vectors in ancestral transmission cycles [20-21]. Outbreaks have been subsequently identified in Asia during the 1950s and 1960s and were confined to tropical regions around the Indian Ocean. Since 2004, the African lineage of the virus has been spreading to several Indian Ocean islands and to India, and subsequently in Europe, Asia, and the Americas[22]. In the summer of 2014, the virus was reported in the United States, and though its range has been limited to the state of Florida, it likely will spread to other states. 2. Control of EIDs EIDs usually occur in a local population where the pathogen is present or was recently imported. They may repeatedly infect the local population until recognition and notification by health care workers. An EID may be misdiagnosed as a known infectious disease because of nonspecific syndromes and a lack of diagnostic methods. An unrecognized endemic EID may evolve into an epidemic or even pandemic disease if the agent is capable of spreading readily from person-to-person and able to sustain itself within the population, such as characteristic of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). SARS emerged in southern China in 2002 and was not recognized as a new disease until it spread rapidly to other parts of the country and later to other countries, becoming a national and international pandemic. More than 8,000 people had been infected and more than 800 died before a global effort finally halted the spread of SARS[23]. Early diagnosis of EIDs and proper isolation of patients may therefore succeed in controlling and preventing spread leading to epidemic or pandemic levels. 3. Strategy for identifying EID pathogens An EID is a new disease in a population and physicians Identification and Diagnosis of Newly Emerging Pathogens have no knowledge of or experience with its diagnosis. This may result in misdiagnosis and mishandling of patients, and may lead to interpersonal transmission. SFTS, for instance, is very often mistreated and results in nosocomial transmission among family attendants in both healthcare and community settings[24-25]. Nosocomial transmission has been a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Ebola endemic areas since the first outbreaks described in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1976[26]. 3.1 Sample collection Acute blood sample within 2 weeks of disease onset should be collected sterilely. Blood should be transported on ice to a laboratory and processed immediately. If the sample can not be processed immediately, it may be stored at 4℃ for 1week or stored indefinitely at −80℃ before being accessed. 3.2 Pathogen isolation from EID patients A majority of EIDs are caused by viruses or rickettsial organisms, which are difficult to isolate. In the initial diagnosis of an unknown infectious disease, a regular bacterial culture should be performed to rule out bacterial infection. Simultaneously, the patient’s serum or anticoagulated blood sample should be processed in isolation from viruses or rickettsia, respectively. Buffy coat or white blood cells may be isolated from an anti-coagulated blood sample for cultivation of intracellular bacteria such as Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, and Rickettsia. Cell infection is monitored by cytopathic effect, which is caused by death or lysis of a virally or rickettsia-infected cell. CPE include rounding of the infected cell, cell fusion to form syncytia, and the appearance of inclusion bodies in nuclei or cytoplasm[27].Vero cells are most frequently used to isolate viruses. However, many deadly human viruses do not cause visible CPE in Vero cells, making it difficult to judge whether the cells are infected. Therefore, other cells may be used for isolation of viruses, and these may develop CPE upon viral infection. For example, in initial isolation of SFTSV both Vero cells and DH82 cells were used[28]. In initial isolation, SFTSV does not form CPE in Vero cells, but does in DH82 cells. A DH82 cell is a monocyte cell line with a round form that loosely attaches to the plate surface, but it will mature into a fibroblastlike macrophage that tightly attaches to the plate upon infection by a virus or by intracellular bacteria. 3.3 Molecular identification of pathogens of EIDs Isolation of an EID’s pathogen takes several days, or even weeks, which delays diagnosis and treatment. Molecular identification of EID pathogens allows rapid detection and identification of organisms. The pathogen should be identified in the early stage of diagnosis and after being isolated. Before performing molecular identification, the pathogen must be roughly determined based on seasonal epidemiology, the patient’s geographic origins, and clinical symptoms. For instance, if the patient comes from tropical endemic areas in Africa, Asia, or South America, then Zika, WNV, Chikungunya, yellow fever, dengue, and Ebola should be considered. A patient with no traffic history before onset of the disease should be questioned regarding history of contact with animals and arthropod bites to determine whether there is infection with an arthropod- or animal-borne pathogen. Molecular diagnosis involving polymerase chain reaction (PCR) should include a broad range of PCR primers targeting several pathogens in a single genus or family of potential pathogens to amplify the unknown pathogens. In identifying a new virus, the virus may have no sequence homology with any known virus. In such a case, the new virus can be sequenced by next-generation sequencing (NGS), which can produce an enormous volume of sequences, with high speed and throughput. NGS techniques have been applied to metagenomics-based strategies for detection of unexpected disease-associated viruses and for discovery of novel human viruses[29]. 4. Principles for determining the pathogen as the cause of a novel infectious disease Virus or bacterium associated with patients are not necessarily the pathogen and it may be only an accompanying organism[30], for example, Chlamydia was discovered in SARS patients. The virus or bacterium from the patient needs to be tested to confirm it is the EID’s pathogen. Koch’s postulates are used to determine the causative agent of a particular disease. The postulates have previously been used guide identification of pathogens. However, in Koch’s time, there was no virology or molecular biology; therefore, Koch’s postulates have limitations in the molecular biology and metagenomic era. First, many fastidious growth pathogens are difficult to cultivate, and detection of a pathogen’s genetic material by reverse transcription PCR or standard PCR may be used as evidence for infection. Second, many pathogens have no susceptible animal model, which renders it impossible to deny the pathogen caused human disease. 5. Summary EIDs are either new diseases or known diseases that, over the previous two decades, have expanded in geographic range or have a significantly increased incidence rate. New infectious diseases and reemerging infectious diseases both pose a challenge for physicians and public health workers because of the novelty of the disease in a certain population and the lack of knowledge of the disease and of prepared diagnostic methodology. Delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis of an EID may cause great fear in populations. An unrecognized endemic EID may evolve into an epidemic, or even pandemic, disease if the agent has the ability to readily spread from person to person and to sustain itself within the population, such as was seen with SARS. Therefore, early diagnosis of EIDs is important for the health in the local and global populations. The strategy for diagnosing EIDs includes: (1) 15 Infectious Diseases and Translational Medicine recognition of EID by clinical symptoms; (2)isolating, and identifying the pathogen from, the patients; (3)determining whether the isolated organism is the pathogen that causes infection. Because EIDs may be contagious, patients should be isolated before diagnosis and until recovery. In the era of easily accessible airplane travel, infectious diseases have no boundaries and spread at jet speed, which requires the world to corporate in diagnosing and containing EIDs. REFERENCES 1.
