Infectious Diseases Prevention, Control and Cure

Prevention, control, and cure of infectious diseases are crucial for reducing global health risks. Prevention includes vaccination, hygiene, sanitation, vector control, and public health education to stop diseases before they spread. Control involves early detection, surveillance, contact tracing, and managing outbreaks through isolation and antimicrobial stewardship. Cure focuses on treating infections using antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, antiparasitics, and supportive care, with emerging treatments like gene editing also being explored. Despite progress, challenges such as antimicrobial resistance, emerging diseases, and limited healthcare access remain, requiring ongoing research, global collaboration, and stronger health systems to protect against infectious threats.
