The history of public health in the United States is marked by great advances interspersed with periods of benign neglect—eras of maintaining the status quo ended by a significant epidemiological event. Cholera, tuberculosis, plague, polio, and malaria have catalyzed significant advances in public health. These problems are now largely banished from the US landscape, but not from the global perspective. In developing countries, millions of individuals die annually from largely preventable or treatable diseases. Some of these diseases could be transported to developed countries in a new form.
