Abstract：Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) are characterized by sudden outbreak and rapid spread among the general population with high susceptibility. The occurrence of EIDs severely threats human health and influences social and economic development. In recent years, our government has established an effective prevention and control system as well as an effective capability in the management of EIDs in China. From 2014 to 2015, the outbreak of EIDs such as human avian influenza and hand, foot and mouth disease were well controlled in China, and EIDs like Middle East respiratory syndrome and Ebola virus disease pose a potential threat to Chinese population. In this article, the authors summarize the current progress and challenges in the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and related research of EIDs occurring in China during the last two years.
