They tend to be especially dangerous due to two reasons; first, we lack information about them, such as what causes the disease, and secondly, we lack treatments against them. Because viruses can't be treated with antibiotics, they automatically impose a larger threat. Viruses can be fought with vaccines; however, we don't have these for emerging viruses.
