More than 20 different STIs have been identified, and about 19 million men and women are infected each year in the United States alone. This book looks at the complete picture of common STIs— how they form, evolve, and transmit, as well as how they can be treated and managed with modern techniques, medicines, and tools. Diagnostics to Pathogenomics of Sexually Transmitted Infections runs the spectrum of discussion ranging from introduction of causative pathogen, their pathogenesis to epidemiology, immunology, to anatomy and physiology of human genitalia and management strategies. The book offers in-depth chapter coverage on effect of probiotics on reproductive health; mucosal immunity in sexually transmitted infections; the role of circumcision in preventing STIs; Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV); genital herpes; molluscum contagiosum; genital warts; chlaymydia trachomatis; donovanosis; gonorrhoea; treponematoses; genital mycoplasms; bacterial vaginosis; vulvovaginal candidiasis; chlaymydia; scabies; chancroid, yeast infections; and more. - Comprehensively compiles most of the major sexually transmitted infections - Presents updated information on clinical aspects of sexually transmitted infections - Examines the priorities in pathogenesis of human sexually transmitted infections and discusses new strategies of genomics and next-generation diagnostic tools used for detection of such pathogens - Explores the future of rapid molecular diagnostic techniques and the challenges posed in the diagnosis of human STIs - Includes bench to bedside content that will appeal to both basic and clinical researchers By offering the latest knowledge about recent advances in sexually transmitted infections in an interdisciplinary fashion, Diagnostics to Pathogenomics of Sexually Transmitted Infections is the perfect book for virologists, microbiologists, infectious disease experts, vaccinologists, biomedical researchers, clinicians, pharmacologists, and public health specialists.","PeriodicalId":110156,"journal":{"name":"Diagnostics to Pathogenomics of Sexually Transmitted Infections","volume":"362 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115928820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 468,514 cases of gonorrhea were reported in the United States in 2016 and this was a significant increase from the 395,216 reported cases in 2015.[1] The number of reported gonorrhea cases probably underestimates the true incidence and the reporting has been influenced by changes in screening practices, use of diagnostic tests with different performance characteristics, and reporting practices. In the United States, the rate of gonorrhea declined by 74% from 1975 to 1997 after implementation of a national gonorrhea control program in the mid-1970s. After 1997, gonorrhea rates declined further, reaching a historic low of 98.1 cases per 100,000 population in 2009.[1] During 2009–2012, the gonorrhea rate increased each year, with 106.7 cases per 100,000 population reported in 2012. A slight decline occurred in 2013, but the rates then increased again during 2014, 2015, and 2016 (Figure 1).[1] In 2016, the gonorrhea rate was 145.8 cases per 100,000 population, an increase of 18.5% from 2015; since 2006, the gonorrhea rate of reported gonorrhea cases has increased 48.6%.[1] Based on the estimated incident cases among all ages in 2008, the total lifetime direct medical cost of gonorrhea in the United States was estimated at $162.1 million.","PeriodicalId":110156,"journal":{"name":"Diagnostics to Pathogenomics of Sexually Transmitted Infections","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123327978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
