Overview

Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that enter the body and reproduce, leading to symptoms of illness. Infectious diseases range from mild to severe and can be spread in various ways such as person-to-person contact, contact with contaminated food or water, contact with animals, or through the air. Infectious diseases can cause significant economic, social and health burdens, and their prevention, control, and management are essential components of public health. Vaccines, antibiotics, and other treatments are used to prevent and treat infectious disease, while good public health systems and practices are important for detection and containment. With the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains, infectious diseases remain a global health concern. Relevant research on treatments and prevention strategies is ongoing.
