Ground zero when there's an outbreak of infectious disease
If CDC is in the
headlines, chances are good that it's a story we're involved in. NCEZID keeps
people safe from hundreds of infections ranging from A to Z -- anthrax to Zika.
In fact, NCEZID may best be known for responding to outbreaks of infectious
disease. Read the Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases brochure to learn more.

Taking a One Health approach
More than half of all
infections that people get are spread by animals, and animals can sometimes
serve as early warning signs of potential illness in people. For example, birds
often die of West Nile virus before people get sick. Read more about NCEZID's
One Health Office, which recognizes that the health of people is connected to
the health of animals and the environment.
