SUMMARY:The Continued Threat of Infectious Diseases to the U.S. Military
DESCRIPTION:Join the Homeland Defense & Security Information Analysis Center (HDIAC) for a webinar presentation on “The Continued Threat of Infectious Diseases to the U.S. Military” on Friday\, January 15\, from 1200 to 1300 EST. \nDuring deployment\, servicemembers are often at risk from infectious diseases which have the potential to impede the individual and the unit mission and cause significant morbidity and mortality. Diseases such as malaria\, dengue\, diarrheal diseases\, and many others threaten the force and require medical countermeasures to eliminate or mitigate the risk. \nDr. Stephen Thomas will explore the historical beginnings of global infectious disease threats\, review the epidemiology\, clinical presentation\, and current status of therapeutic and preventive measures for common threats. Additionally\, U.S. military contributions to countermeasure development will be discussed. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nDr. Stephen Thomas\, (Colonel\, US Army (Retired))\, has nearly 30 years of experience in infectious disease research.
