Answer:

an emerging infectious disease

Explanation:

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an emerging infectious disease can be defined as a newly identified and previously unknown infection in a population that may lead to serious public health concerns at local and/or international level. Emerging infectious diseases usually are caused by pathogenic organisms (like viruses) already present in the environment that acquire the ability to infect a new host species as an adaptive response to changes in ecological conditions. Some examples of emerging infectious diseases include, among others, Ebola virus disease, Chikungunya virus disease, H1N1 Influenza virus disease, etc.

Why do we classify organisms??​
OLEGan [10]

Answer: we classify organisms to group living beings who share  the same characteristics or who have common attributes

Explanation: So, since the late '60s and based on the proposal of the researcher Robert Whittaker, most biologists group living beings into 5 large groups called Kingdoms, based mainly on three characteristics:

* type of cell,

* number of cells in each organism and

* the way of obtaining energy.

As a result, we could have 5 kingdoms; and these kingdoms are:

Monera, represented by the microorganisms of prokaryotic type known colloquially as "bacteria"  

-Fungi, represented by mushrooms

-Plantae, the kingdom of the plants

-Animalia, the kingdom of the animals, and

-Protist, a very diverse group of organisms of eukaryotic type.
