Infectious Diseases and Applied Rsch Technology
Abstract
This Project conducts applied (pre-clinical) research for medical countermeasures to prevent naturally occurring infectious diseases that impact operational readiness and maintains laboratory capability to perform these functions. The Project builds on basic research to optimize lead countermeasures and determines their safety and efficacy in animal models of infection. Effective preventive countermeasures protect the Warfighter from disease and sustain readiness and operations. Infectious disease threats from parasitic diseases, bacterial diseases, and viral diseases are high priorities for military operations. Research conducted in this project focuses on the following three areas: (1)Parasitic Diseases (2)Bacterial Diseases (3)Viral Diseases The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense (Research and Engineering) science and technology focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work is managed by the United States Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC) in coordination with the Naval Medical Research Center (NMRC). The Army is responsible for programming and funding all Department of Defense (DoD) naturally occurring infectious disease research requirements, thereby precluding duplication of effort within the Military Departments.
