Emerging and reemerging infectious diseases: content update in encyclopedias

In the proposed study, it is noted that the published in Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine articles, devoted to infectious diseases, need to be updated. On the one hand, this is caused by the objective aging of the content. On the other hand, this is due to the appearance of new infectious diseases that are actively spreading, changing the general epidemiological background in the world and causing the revival of pathogens of old diseases. In this regard, there is a permanent need to update published encyclopedia articles on infectious diseases.
