Sessions and Tracks

Session 1: Infectious Diseases

Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms like bacterium, viruses, fungi or parasites. Several organisms sleep in and on our bodies. They are unremarkably harmless or may be useful, however below sure conditions, some organisms might cause illness. Some infectious diseases are passed from person to person. Some are transmitted by bites from insects or animals. And others are non-inheritable by ingesting contaminated food or water or being exposed to organisms within the surroundings. Signs and symptoms vary looking on the organism inflicting the infection; however usually embody fever and fatigue. Delicate infections might reply to rest and residential remedies, whereas some serious infections might need hospitalization. Several infectious diseases, like contagious disease and varicella, is prevented by vaccines. Frequent and thorough hand-washing additionally helps defend you from most infectious diseases.

About Infectious Diseases:

Infections are caused by microorganisms resides inside the host body. The colonization of microbes is beneficial and sometimes fatal, vary according to the host immune resistance and drug susceptibility. In general biologist classified living organisms which are called as bacteria, virus, protozoa, fungi, Parasites, Prions, Viroid’s (plant pathogens, they affect the health of plants). The overlap of the kingdoms in this figure is intentional, because, given the evolution of increasingly complex and diverse species.

Human with infection causing agent inside the body called host and organisms as parasite. These tiny microbes colonize inside the body and reproduce. The organism that causes infection is also called as infectious agent. The resided organism that harms a host's health is often called a pathogen. The infection can be varied to different stages in accordance to various types of infectious agents that establishes successful site of infection in the host cause disease. Infectious agents come in many shapes and sizes. The single celled microscopic organisms are called Bacteria and protozoa, while viruses are even smaller. Fungi grow like plants and helminths that resemble worms.

The death rate of people is more due to infectious diseases than any other single cause. Infectious diseases are caused by microbes. Microbes are tiny living organisms which are ubiquitous and are omnipresent- in air, soil and water. The mode of transmission of infection varies different ways by touching, eating, drinking or breathing something that contains a germ, spread through animal, insect bites, and sexual contact.

Epidemiological Data:

The most people deaths are caused by disease and injury categories. The report finds that the vast majority of environment-related deaths are due to cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke and ischaemic heart disease:

Stroke – 2.5 million deaths annually
Ischaemic heart disease – 2.3 million deaths annually
Unintentional injuries (such as road traffic deaths) – 1.7 million deaths annually
Cancers – 1.7 million deaths annually
Chronic respiratory diseases – 1.4 million deaths annually
Diarrhoeal diseases – 846 000 deaths annually
Respiratory infections – 567 000 deaths annually
Neonatal conditions – 270 000 deaths annually
Malaria – 259 000 deaths annually
Intentional injuries (such as suicides) – 246 000 deaths annually

Global Data:

According to research and consulting firm Global Data the infectious diseases point-of-care testing (POCT) market is set to rise from $696.1 million in 2015 to just over $1.17 billion by 2022, represents a compound annual growth rate of 7.7%, which are top causes of environment-related deaths. The global data Analysis covering Medical Devices, explains the main barrier to the acceptability of infectious disease POC tests has been their relatively low accuracy. The sensitivity and specificity achieved with the currently available lateral flow technologies at the POC is, at present, inferior to those achievable in central labs utilizing nucleic acid methods.

With comprehensive market assessment across the major geographies such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, Latin America and Rest of the world the report is a valuable asset for the existing players, new entrants and the future investors.

In accordance to IDSA Infectious Diseases Society of America (National Medical Society) & Global Infectious Diseases Association there is an urgent, immediate need for new therapeutic agents with activity against these resistant infectious diseases causing tricky invaders. IDSA is encouraged by the prospect of success for some agents currently in preclinical development to control infectious diseases caused by antibiotic resistance microbes. But still there is no evidence that this need will be fulfilled in the predictable future. Furthermore, we remain concerned that the infrastructure for discovering and developing new antibacterial continues to stagnate, thereby risking the future pipeline of antibacterial drugs.
