Infectious Diseases Research Areas and Disciplines | |
Most research in infectious diseases focuses on finding treatments or managing the disease if it's not curable. Research into HIV is common in most universities with an infectious diseases division, and this includes new drug trials, combinations of drugs, and possible non-pharmaceutical therapies such as gene therapy, bone marrow transplantation, and stem cell research.
Other research into infectious diseases looks at the biochemical and molecular basis of these diseases, how they spread, and how to mitigate infections. This includes research into effective strategies to educate the public and public health campaigns.
Research into infectious diseases and pandemics is a relatively recent advance but gaining in ground. With the advent of easy transmission between populations, research into the epidemiology of various diseases such as West Nile virus, influenza, and malaria is ongoing. Research to quell pandemic outbreaks is also ongoing, either by understanding how and where these diseases originate, or effective strategies to curb their spread once loose on a population. Due to the nature of infectious diseases, research is usually a collaboration at the international level.
