Emerging Infectious Disease Will Likely Affect Only Developing Countries in the near Future

Question

Emerging infectious disease will likely affect only developing countries in the near future.

Accepted Answer

Emerging infectious diseases have the potential to affect any country and do not discriminate based on economic development. While developing countries may be more vulnerable due to factors such as poor infrastructure and limited resources for healthcare, developed countries have also experienced significant outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases in recent years (e.g. Zika virus in the United States, Ebola virus in Europe).
