Overview

Infectious disease results from the invasion and multiplication of pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, within a host, and the disease state reflects the interaction of pathogen virulence, host susceptibility and immune response, and environmental and behavioural determinants of transmission. Pathogens spread by routes such as respiratory droplets and aerosols, faecal-oral contamination, vectors, bloodborne exposure, and direct contact, and the resulting illnesses range from self-limiting to life-threatening, with potential for outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics. Control rests on surveillance, diagnosis, prevention through vaccination, infection prevention and control, and treatment with antimicrobials, the effectiveness of which is threatened by emerging and re-emerging pathogens and by antimicrobial resistance. Mathematical modelling, immunomonitoring, and molecular diagnostics increasingly inform understanding of transmission and response. Research published in this area by the journal addresses these themes, including reimbursement policy for major infectious disease, narrative review of COVID-19 and the emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases, mathematical modelling of typhoid transmission and of COVID-19, immunoassays and immunogenomic approaches for immunomonitoring infection, the impact of climate change on public health, white-blood-cell and lymphocyte dynamics in early COVID-19, face-mask adoption to limit transmission, and infection prevention and control in healthcare facilities during the pandemic. These contributions span the epidemiology, modelling, diagnosis, prevention, and control of infectious diseases.
