The 5 International Meeting on Emerging Diseases and

attention now. A wide range of issues were discussed on the conference related to the risks associated with modern
epidemics, pandemics and bioterrorism. Medical, ethical and political aspects of the fight
against modern epidemics were discussed during the emotional debates.Particular concern
was expressed regarding the capacity of African countries to control the epidemic of
Ebola and the expansion of its geography.
The conference program included a large poster session,
which consisted of more than 100 reports of global issues infectology, epidemiology and antibiotic resistance.This is a global
problem and it equally applies to
both advanced and industrialized and developing countries.A head of the
