Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infectious diseases represent a major threat to the health and wellbeing of humans on a global scale, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic. The Sustainable Development Agenda for 2030 aims to end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and neglected tropical diseases, and to combat hepatitis, water-borne diseases, and other communicable diseases by 2030, which is extremely important. However, the global burden of infectious diseases is caused by a much wider variety of infectious diseases, and globalization and the recently emerging conflicts worldwide have increased the risk of disease transmission and also the emergence of new pathogens and diseases. These diseases could be particularly deadly in countries experiencing or recovering from a natural disaster or conflict. Damage to health infrastructure and health services disrupt routine immunization, and overcrowding in residential settings greatly increases the risk of infection.
On the other hand, the COVID-19 pandemic sharpened the focus on developing new technologies to prevent diseases and protect people, and all these achievements should be promoted, explored, and discussed among scientists, in order to increase their benefits for all.
Sharing experience and knowledge about the recent developments related to infectious diseases will be beneficial for all scientists and countries to improve the surveillance and control of these diseases in their countries and improve the resilience of health systems. Authors are invited to submit their recent studies on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases as well as the responses of health systems.
