The challenges of emerging illness in urban environments: an overview.

M McCally1, A Garg, C Oleskey.   

Abstract

The New York City West Nile outbreak is an important case study for examining several medical and public health issues raised by the specter of emerging illnesses in urban areas. Five specific issues are addressed in this issue of the Journal of Urban Health: ecosystem health, vector (e.g., mosquito) control, risk communication, public health infrastructure, and parallels between this outbreak and bioterrorism.
