Abstract
Changes in travel, communication, and technology have continuously brought our world closer together. These changes have escalated in recent centuries and especially in the latter-part of the twentieth century and continue at a rapid pace at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Communicable diseases that were at one time contained within geographic regions are now able to travel at the speed of a single passenger to almost any place on the earth within a 24-hour time period.
