The global threat of new and reemerging infectious diseases: reconciling U.S national security and public health policy - Santa Monica, California: RAND, 2003 - 146p.

Infectious diseases are a growing non military threat to global security. This report identifies the factors that are contributing to the spread of infectious diseases; reviews the HIV/AIDS problem in South Africa as an example of the pervasiveness of an infectious disease; and analyses the US public health system as an example of the problems of disease control in the developed world.
