On Monday, the World Health Organization said it was drafting a new list of
priority diseases that pose the greatest threat of causing pandemics or
outbreaks and, thus, require the closest monitoring.
The World Health Organization (WHO) wanted to update a list that helps
direct worldwide R&D and investment in areas including vaccinations,
diagnostics, and therapies.
The United Nations health agency has begun convening more than 300
scientists to review data on 25 different virus families and bacteria as
part of this procedure.
