encourage the continued emergence of infectious diseases like cholera and the plague. Their findings indicated that cities where overcrowding is a significant problem are at the top of the
list for being unable to provide an uncontaminated water supply and living areas that are not overrun with too many people. The World Health Organization has been unable to
do much to confine these diseases or follow the mandates that have been set out for them. As well, the incidence of extensive national and international travel has created a
situation that allows the pathogens to be transported from place to place by unsuspecting hosts who ultimately fall ill to one infectious disease or another. Before any signs of
illness are detected, the pathogen has already hitched a ride to a new location (Anonymous, 1996). Public health services have been overwhelmed in the recent past, so much so that
they are no longer able to keep up with the preventive approach. Surveillance and diagnostic laboratories, responsible for detecting infectious disease pathogens long before they reach epidemic proportions, have
been in a state of degradation for some time now; only with their resurgence will communities have the safeguard they need to offset incoming pathogens (Anonymous, 1996). Not surprisingly, the
"erosion of the public health infrastructure" of the World Health Organization (Anonymous, 1996, p. 37) has been one of the primary reasons for pathogen detection oversight, allowing more and more
infectious diseases into existence. It would appear that cholera and the plague were warning enough of the devastating harm such pathogens can create when allowed to spread at uncontrolled
rates, but the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine contends that the crumbling infrastructure is at the forefront of this ignorance. As a result of the medical and
