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.

Some examples of emerging infectious diseases include, among others, Ebola virus disease, Chikungunya virus disease, H1N1 Influenza virus disease, etc.
It refers to making or crating new genes in form of mutation

The closer the light is to the plant the rate of photosynthesis will be greater compared to when the light is further away from the plant the rate of photosynthesis will be lower.
A nurse suspects that the IV line through which Doxorubicin (adriamycin) is infusing has infiltrated. The nurse has discontinued the IV site. The nurse should IMMEDIATELY APPLY ICE PACK TO THAT AREA. Ice pack helps to reduce the absorption of the drug doxorubicin and thus minimize the its effect.
