Anti-infective Therapy and Immunization

The determination to develop new prophylactic vaccines has resulted from the increase in impact of emerging diseases, bioterrorism and resistance to existing antimicrobials, as well as the apparent increased virulence of some viruses, such as influenza. Very fast spreading infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, Hepatitis B, HIV/AIDS, influenza and others have become the major concern as they are majorly contributing to worldwide causes of death and presenting huge burden on healthcare systems. Infectious diseases are treated with classification of drugs including antivirals and anti-infective agents. Anti-infective vaccines are the most powerful health measures taken to prevent the spreading infectious diseases.
