Abstract
Despite major progress in the last several decades in reducing the public and animal health burden of infectious disease a number of issues remain to be resolved and which have thus far been regarded as intractable. These include (i) the persistent carrier state in individuals convalescent from typhoid and typhoid-like infections, (ii) the increasing prevalence of multi-antibiotic resistance in enteric pathogens, much of which is mediated by self-transmissible plasmids, and (iii) parasite infections which are difficult to control by vaccination and where resistance to chemotherapeutics is also increasing. The author describes very recent work carried out by his group to look at resolving these problems in new and imaginative ways.
