About this Research Topic
This research topic delves into the intricate web of challenges posed by uncommon infections flourishing in the rich biodiverse tapestry of tropical regions. Not only does this collection explore the complex interplay of environmental, socio-economic, and microbial factors promoting the proliferation of these elusive infections, but it also highlights the significant but often underexamined impact of climate change.
The implications of global warming and ecological shifts are explored in-depth, as their contribution to the emergence and persistence of multiresistant bacteria, fungal pathogens, opportunistic diseases, and hygiene-related concerns are increasingly recognized. The articles shed light on the clinical manifestations, epidemiological patterns, and diagnostic complexities of these infections, being especially aggravated by changing climatic conditions and heightened environmental stressors.
Furthermore, this collection underscores the one-health approach, recognizing that the health of humans, animals, and the environment are interlinked and significantly affect the likelihood of rare, tropical infections. Articles elucidating critical insights into management and control strategies based on this holistic perspective, which encompasses human, animal, and environmental health, are highly encouraged.
Spanning from innovative antimicrobial approaches to advocating for elevated hygiene practices, integrating climate change adaptation strategies, and robust public health interventions, the articles featured in this special issue collectively drive the field forward. They aim to foster a deeper comprehension and a heightened state of vigilance against these latent yet potentially devastating threats to global health, considering the changing climate and the necessity for a comprehensive one-health approach.
