In this essential, infectious diseases of humans and animals that occur or can become endemic in Germany and Europe are presented. These include current threats, African swine fever, bird flu and COVID-19. In addition, the biology of mosquitoes is described. Globalization and global warming favor the establishment of new mosquito species that can transmit viruses from the tropics and subtropics, such as chikungunya, dengue and West Nile virus. The Schmallenberg virus, which is relevant in veterinary medicine, shows how rapidly new pathogens are spreading in Europe.
