OVERVIEW :
Infectious diseases remain a major cause of human morbidity and mortality. Infectious diseases have profound significance, particularly in the eastern and North East regions of India, which have a rich diversity of over 200 ethnicities with their own unique cultures and traditions that involve huge interactions in human-wildlife reservoir-livestock interface. This accounted with increasing anthropogenic environmental changes, vector populations and the unprecedented spread of vector-borne pathogens have led to increasing frequency of known and unknown infectious diseases that are largely becoming endemic. The Centre for Infectious Diseases (CID) has been established to strengthen capacity and capability building in the North East Indiato carry out biomedical research on diseases having priority in the national health program and unique to the region.CID will serve North East region of India through identification and scientific understanding of pathophysiology of the prevalent known and unknown infectious diseases of the region to provide evidence-based translational solutions and technologies for the society in terms of surveillance, diagnostics, therapeutics and other solutions by adopting integrative and holistic approach..
