Infectious Diseases
Infectious Diseases is a specialty concerned with diseases caused by pathogens (such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, or parasites). Infectious diseases are communicable between humans through bodily fluids, airborne inhalation, or other physical contact; infectious diseases can also be contracted through liquids, food, or through vectors (such as animals or insects). The infectious diseases portal collects and indexes all of the contributors and content in these areas, with topics including Influenza A H1N1 (Swine flu), HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and malaria.
Portals organize content on Medpedia by topic. Find Articles to edit, create missing Articles and earn points, and find active Contributors with this interest or expertise. See how you can get recognized for your contributions.
