Antibiotic resistance
Antibiotic resistance
Antibiotic resistance is a global health threat where microorganisms become resistant to antibiotics. It threatens healthcare and food security, making surveillance, research, and effective policies vital to prevent resistance and improve treatments.
COVID-19
COVID-19
COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, triggered a global pandemic. Vaccines remain crucial, while research focuses on early detection, new variants, effective treatments, and strengthening preparedness for future outbreaks.
Enteric viruses
Enteric viruses
Enteric viruses spread primarily through faecal-oral route, causing enteric disease (e.g. nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain). They include calicivirus, adenoviruses, astroviruses, rotaviruses, hepatitis viruses, and enteroviruses.
