Resolving the genetics of resistance to infectious diseases.

چکیده
The genetics of resistance to disease is an area of great interest in agriculturally important plant and animal species. Selective breeding for resistance to pathogens in plants, animals and insects has demonstrated that resistance and susceptibility to pathogens are controlled by both genetic and environmental factors. The immune loci causally involved in susceptibility and resistance to disease are currently unknown. However, novel enabling molecular technologies promise to assist in unravelling the genetics of the host response to infectious diseases in new ways, and ultimately to improve seed stock genetics.

Introduction: Epidemics and deaths caused by influenza viruses are an important concern worldwide. The use of neuraminidase inhibitors such as oseltamivir is an effective and valuable way to treat the diseases caused by these viruses. However, the mutation in several parts of the gene leads to the emergence of drug-resistant strains, and an ever-increasing rise in drug-resistant strains is a gl...

متن کاملDoes An Antimicrobial Stewardship Program for Carbapenem Use Reduce Costs? An Observation in Tehran, Iran.
Introduction: Inappropriate administration of antimicrobials has led to increased antibiotic resistance as well as burden of infectious diseases. Antibiotic stewardship programs (ASPs) help prevent resistance through improved utilization of antimicrobial agents while potentially decrease costs of treatment. Method: We reviewed 186 infectious disease (ID) consultations from two internal disea...
