For example, in 1997, an avian strain of influenza that had never before infected humans began to kill previously healthy persons in Hong Kong, and strains of Staphylococcus aureus with diminished susceptibility to the antibiotic vancomycin were reported in Japan and the United States. In addition, researchers recently discovered that a strain of the virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) had been infecting humans for at least 20 years before AIDS emerged as a worldwide epidemic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreventing Emerging Infectious Diseases: A Strategy for the 21st Century\u003cbr\u003edescribes CDC’s plan to combat today’s infectious diseases and prevent those of tomorrow.","brand":"1001 Property Solutions LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147587207408,"sku":"2940013864986","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013864986_p0.jpg?v=1763596330","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013864986","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
