Infectious Disease

Overview

Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi that can spread between individuals or from the environment to people. Research published in Preventive Medicine And Care addresses multiple dimensions of infectious disease prevention, surveillance, and control. The journal has featured work on policy interventions, including analysis of reimbursement strategies for infectious disease management in national health systems, and mathematical modeling studies that examine transmission dynamics and evaluate intervention impacts for diseases such as typhoid fever and COVID-19. Coverage extends to diagnostic advances, with articles exploring immunoassays and immunogenomic approaches for monitoring infectious diseases alongside cancer. The journal has published narrative reviews and original research on COVID-19, examining clinical markers, epidemiological patterns, environmental factors including vitamin D and air pollution, and public health measures such as school reopening protocols and universal mask-wearing policies. Additional work addresses infection prevention and control practices in healthcare facilities and broader considerations of disease emergence, re-emergence, and geopolitical factors. This research matters because infectious diseases remain leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, requiring evidence-based strategies for prevention, early detection, and effective response across diverse healthcare settings and populations.
