AB  - This  chapter  addresses  the  prevention  and  control  of  infectious  diseases  associated  with  the  greatest  burden  of  global  morbidity  and  mortality.  We  begin  by  highlighting  overall  global  progress  toward  infectious  disease  control.  Subsequent  sections  focus  on  the  critical  role  of  cross-cutting  interventions  that  decrease  host  susceptibility  and  exposure  across  many  infectious  diseases,  including  the  optimization  of  nutritional  status  and  environmental  modification  through  the  provision  of  clean  water  and  improved  sanitation.  The  remainder  of  the  chapter  is  dedicated  to  prevention  and  control  strategies  for  specific  syndromes  of  global  importance.  The  communicable  disease  sections  of  this  book  provide  a  comprehensive  overview  of  the  recommended  treatments  for  specific  infectious  diseases;  this  chapter  only  includes  these  treatments  if  they  are  an  essential  element  of  control  programs.
