Abstract
Framing a concept and an agenda for infectious diseases in EMBO Molecular Medicine
Highlights
Each year, 12 million individuals on the planet succumb to one infection
Social disturbances that encompass severe losses of activities (i.e. DALYs) are a major handicap to the most impoverished populations and to the economic development of the nations in which the victims live. Embedded in this precarious situation is the risk of emergence, reemergence and extension of new, or renewed, infectious diseases that can spread to the other end of the planet at the speed of modern air mass transportation
The situation is further aggravated by lingering resistance of hospital microbes to anti-infectious agents, despite major progress made in the control of antibiotic use over the last two decades
Summary
12 million individuals on the planet succumb to one infection. Ninety per cent of these deaths occur in the developing world. Framing a concept and an agenda for infectious diseases in EMBO Molecular Medicine
