National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases

The National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID) is a vital component of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), focusing on the prevention, early detection, and control of infectious disease threats. NCEZID's scientific activities and goals build upon the foundation laid by its predecessor organizations. With a strong emphasis on the One Health approach, NCEZID collaborates across CDC and with external partners to protect people from emerging infections, foodborne infections, and zoonotic infections. NCEZID is located in Atlanta, Georgia, and operates under the umbrella of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
