The majority of such diseases are contagious and create a public health menace. There are several reasons why infectious diseases are deadly diseases, and one of the primary reasons is the drug resistance developed over time. Drug resistance-associated mutations are linked to increasing drug efflux, modifications of the drugs, or their targets. Every year, new drugs are being approved by FDA to treat infectious diseases. Nonetheless, the infectious diseases will undoubtedly persist as permanent and main threats to humanity for now and in the future.A total of four books are covered under the series of Infectious drug diseases.- Malarial drug delivery systems- Tubercular drug delivery systems- Viral drug delivery systems- Infectious disease drug delivery systemsInfectious diseases are the world's greatest killers that present one of the most significant health and security challenges. Humans have lived with emerging and re-emerging pathogens since before the documented history of civilization. The only determining fact today is - If the situation is 'worse' or 'better' than in past.

When the incidence of such a disease in people increases over 20 years or threatens to increase, it is called an 'emerging' disease, and a growing number have made watch lists andheadlines in nearly every country -li [...] Wydawnictwo: Springer Rok wydania: 2023 Okładka: twarda Liczba stron: 439 Wymiary: 23.5 x 15.5 cm Ilustracje: 34 Illustrations, color; 7 Illustrations, black and white; X, 439 p. 41 illus., 34 illus. in color.
