Abstract | Provisional PDF | Editor’s summary
Arab countries, like other developing poor countries, suffer from various types of infectious diseases. Some of these diseases might be endemic or unique to the Arab countries. However, Arab countries are still lagging behind in research in the field of infectious diseases. More efforts and further financial support are needed to encourage research and publications in this field.
