The continuing presence and burden of infectious agents still cause substantial illness and death in many parts of the world, particularly where periodic outbreaks of infectious diseases occur frequently. The potential spread of infectious diseases underscores the need for improved epidemiological surveillance, identification of genetic basis of infectious disease and documentation of the extent of genetic variations among infectious agents which exacerbate the burden of disease. These innovations have led to the development of DNA-based molecular methods. This is a review article.
