Preface
Infectious disease outbreaks have unfortunately been very real threats to the general population and economic development in the past decades whether they are caused by nature or bioterrorism. A typical example was the H1N1 outbreak in 2009, which spread quickly around the world and ultimately affected millions of people in 214 countries, including 128,033 confirmed cases in China. In 2010, more than 600,000 infected cases were reported, and 8000 lives were lost because of the cholera outbreak in Haiti. A more recent example of an epidemic outbreak was the 2014–2015 Ebola pandemic in West Africa, which infected approximately 28,610 individuals, and approximately 11,300 lives were lost in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.
