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.

Lilit [14]
<span>The student who use the hemoglobin data to conclude that mice and shrews are more closely related than mice and humans or shrew and human is quite correct. Scientists had found a way of determining the evolution histroy of animals by means of the amino acid sequence of their hemoglobin. The higher the number of related amino acids found the closer the relationship between the two organisms. There are a difference of 29 amino acid between man and mouse and a difference of 24 amino acids between human and shrew but only a difference of 5 amino acid between mouse and shrew. This shows that mouse and shrew are closer.</span>
