Neuroinfectious diseases encompass a diverse range of conditions wherein pathogens invade and affect the nervous system. These pathogens include viruses (e.g., herpesviruses, arboviruses like Zika and West Nile), bacteria (e.g., tuberculosis, meningococcus), fungi (e.g., cryptococcus), and parasites (e.g., malaria, toxoplasma). Understanding the pathogenesis, epidemiology, and clinical manifestations of these diseases is crucial for effective diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies. This session aims to foster a collaborative dialogue among attendees on the multifaceted challenges and opportunities in addressing neuroinfectious diseases within the framework of global infectious diseases and clinical vaccines. Through shared insights and innovative approaches, we endeavor to advance knowledge, improve patient outcomes, and strengthen global health security.
