Human infectious diseases are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in resource-poor settings where infections are known to spread faster. If not managed promptly certain infectious diseases can quickly turn into epidemics and spread further across nations into major pandemics. This has a major impact on the quality of life, economic productivity and financial resources of the affected communities and countries. Zoonotic diseases are also becoming a major public health problem, facilitated by the increasing contact with animals, consumption of animal products and carriage by vectors.

The “Infectious Diseases” section of AIMS Public Health Journal invites submissions covering the broad area of Human infectious diseases, including the neglected tropical diseases. We also welcome submissions on zoonotic diseases which are increasingly becoming a burden to the human population. We will consider reviews and original research articles on topics including but not limited to: Transmission and Pathogenesis; Diagnosis; Prevention and Treatment; Vaccines and Immunotherapies; Response to therapy; Treatment Failure and Resistance; Prognosis and long-term complications; emerging and re-emerging diseases.
