Abstract

Infectious diseases have been posing severe health

hazards and morbidity cases across the globe for quite a

few decades now. The perspective cannot be overlooked

at any cost when the World Health Organization shows

records of about 17 million cases annually in the world. In

2016, there were three communicable diseases among the

top ten causes of death. This further emphasizes the

harshness of the situation in relation to infectious

diseases. Infectious diseases are mostly associated with

environmental conditions and there are about 12.6

million cases of death that occur corresponding to

environmental factors each year. It is even confirmed by

researchers that there are about 30 new emerging

infectious diseases over the past 20 years. Following

these documentations, it is not surprising that this topic

of research has attracted biologists, environmentalists,

anthropologists, mathematicians and many other science

field workers. The significance of data in any study is very

well known as this is what gives bones to the conclusions

made. When considering the subject of infectious diseases

which is directly linked to human population and

morbidity, the inference becomes even more compelling.

A handful of infectious disease subdivisions are discussed

herewith to highlight the importance of data availability

for these researches.
