Definition[edit | edit source]
An exotic disease or condition is one that is not native or common to a particular region or population. These diseases often originate from a different country or continent and are introduced to a new area through various means such as travel, trade, or the movement of people and animals.
Examples[edit | edit source]
Some examples of exotic diseases include Ebola, Zika virus, and West Nile virus. These diseases are considered exotic in many parts of the world because they originated in different regions and have been introduced to new areas.
Prevention and Control[edit | edit source]
Prevention and control of exotic diseases often involve measures such as quarantine, vaccination, and public education. It is important for public health officials to monitor the spread of these diseases and take appropriate action to prevent outbreaks.
