Emerging Infectious Diseases

Booking Overview

This public-health science interview show highlights current infectious-disease journal research through conversations with article authors, epidemiologists, clinicians, veterinarians, and public-health investigators. Agencies could credibly pitch infectious-disease researchers and public-health experts with peer-reviewed work on outbreaks, surveillance, vector-borne disease, healthcare-associated infections, or environmental health, but booking is likely high difficulty because guest selection is closely tied to featured CDC journal articles.
