    Default structure "risk of the diseases returning"

    Could someone please explain to me the selected structure in the sentence below (from grammatical point of view of course ) ?

    If the number of parents choosing not to immunise increased, there would be a similar increase in the risk of the diseases returning.

    The diseases that have been suppressed up until now would be more likely to return (come back).
