Infectious diseases remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, disproportionately affecting populations in low-resource settings where healthcare infrastructure and public health outreach are limited. Although vaccination programs and vector control strategies have advanced, challenges like vaccine hesitancy, logistical barriers, pathogen variants, and sociocultural factors hinder their full effectiveness. This issue features articles exploring vaccination, infectious disease control, and technology-driven surveillance in these environments.
