Overview
NCEZID is made up of seven divisions and three offices that work with partners throughout the United States and around the world to prevent illness, disability, and death caused by a wide range of infectious diseases.
Because the diverse workforces of these divisions include an equally broad spectrum of infectious disease expertise, we are better able to identify mysterious—and sometimes very lethal— illnesses, contain outbreaks that sometimes span many states, and save lives.
