Abstract
In the last decade, we faced a large number of emerging pathogens. As a consequence we had to adapt our medical practice as well as our health system. This review summarizes the main features of the recent emerging pathogens with a particular focus on the recent and ongoing Ebola outbreak, we tried to evaluate the consequences on our national health management.
