SUMMARY:Infectious diseases in the changing landscape of public health - D
 ye\, C (World Health Organization)

CONTACT:Mustapha Amrani
DESCRIPTION:Infectious diseases will be eliminated and replaced by chronic
 \, lifestyle diseases as fertility falls\, life expectancy increases\, and
  populations grow old. This is the standard story of the epidemiologic tra
 nsition\, but it hasnt turned out as we imagined. Even the massive effort 
 to contain major infections  especially HIV/AIDS\, tuberculosis and malari
 a  within the framework of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) has lef
 t much unfinished business. As we approach the 2015 deadline for reaching 
 the MDGs\, the selection of a new set of development goals has become a ma
 tter for intense debate. In this talk I will consider how the analysis of 
 infectious disease epidemiology and control has influenced\, and been infl
 uenced by\, the changing landscape of public health over the past two deca
 des\, and how infections might figure in the post-2015 agenda. Among the t
 opics for discussion will be the domination of the big three\, the quest f
 or eradication\, the failure of health systems analysis\, and the place of
  infection in a new era of sustainable development. \n
