Infectious diseases described over the past 5 decades include those caused by newly discovered pathogens, as well as re-emergent infections caused by microbial mutation and drug-resistance. The latest example was the emergence and spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus and the resultant COVID-19 pandemic. The most recent epidemiologic and scientific evidence pertaining to SARS-CoV-2 disease will be initially discussed, as well as occupational risks for health care workers and updated recommended infection prevention strategies. Other ongoing disease challenges presented by widespread respiratory diseases (influenza viruses, tuberculosis), blood-borne infections (hepatitis B and C viruses and Human Immunodeficiency Virus), waterborne pathogens (Legionellosis), and the increasing risks presented by antimicrobial drug resistance will also be featured.
