Infectious disease biospecimens are critical resources for understanding and combating infectious diseases, which are illnesses caused by various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. These diseases remain one of the most common reasons for hospitalization globally, affecting millions of people each year.

Infectious diseases are among the leading causes of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and contribute significantly to the global mortality rate. Furthermore, the growing issue of antimicrobial resistance has heightened global fears about superinfections, making the control and treatment of these diseases increasingly difficult. As a result, infectious diseases have become a top priority for global health leaders, healthcare providers, policymakers, and researchers. This urgency drives extensive research efforts aimed at discovering novel antibiotics, therapeutic regimens, and vaccines to combat both current and future infections.

At Central BioHub, we understand the critical importance of high-quality infectious disease biospecimens in driving scientific research and development. Our advanced biospecimen inventory and cutting-edge storage technologies make us a unique and valuable resource for researchers worldwide. We are committed to supporting disease state biospecimen research by providing ethically sourced infectious disease samples from diverse populations.

Extensive Collection of Infectious Disease Biospecimens

Central BioHub offers an extensive collection of infectious disease biospecimens tailored to meet the diverse needs of researchers:

Bacterial Infection Specimens: Our inventory includes small volumes of serum and plasma samples collected from patients infected with Chlamydia pneumoniae, Helicobacter pylori, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. These samples are tested for antibodies such as C. pneumoniae antibody, H. pylori antibody, and M. pneumoniae antibody.
Viral Infection Specimens: We provide serum and plasma samples from patients infected with highly contagious viruses, including adenovirus, cytomegalovirus (CMV), parvovirus B19, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), mumps virus, varicella-zoster virus (VZV), and measles virus. Each sample is accurately screened for specific antibodies, ensuring no cross-contamination, and is preserved in our partner’s biobank.
Protozoal Infection Samples: Our human biospecimens include samples with positive molecular results for protozoal infections, intended for research purposes. These include serum and plasma samples tested for specific antibodies and hyper-annotated with relevant clinical information. All samples are stored at temperatures below -18°C in our partner’s biobank.
Fungal Infection samples: It comprises genetically diverse specimens such as human serum, plasma, vaginal swabs, and urine samples intended for research purposes.

Central BioHub is the one way to reach the biospecimen suppliers that eases the conventional time-consuming procurement methodologies. We are prompt at service and guarantee high-quality bio outputs that are cost-effective, reliable, and customer-centric.

What causes infectious diseases?

Infectious diseases are contagious diseases caused by a broad spectrum of pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, worms, or parasites, causing several health implications and premature mortality. Different modes of transmission are involved in the spread of diseases. It can be transmitted from person to person, from animals, birds or insects to humans, or is acquired through contaminated food and water consumption.

What are the symptoms of infectious diseases?

Signs and symptoms range from mild to life-threatening symptoms depending upon the type of infection and extent of disease. However, a person infected by any pathogens experiences general symptoms like fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, general malaise, cough, and fatigue. Specific signs and diagnostic tests allow the correct diagnosis and guide the physicians to plan treatment regimens appropriately.

What is the importance of research on infectious diseases?

Infectious disease research focuses on discovering novel strategies to diagnose, treat, cure, and prevent infections. It enables the researchers to magnify infection biology, disease occurrence, transmission, and characteristics for better understanding. Moreover, infectious diseases research aids in developing health policies and infection control measures for managing and preventing epidemics and pandemics. Besides, it helps in the rational usage of antibiotics and fosters the discovery of new ones and vaccines.

What are infectious disease biospecimens?

Infectious diseases biospecimens include human biofluids such as serum, plasma, urine, CSF, and vaginal swabs collected from patients infected with bacteria, virus, fungus, protozoa, or parasites. The samples are precisely tested for pathogen-specific laboratory testing, well-annotated with relevant clinical data, and stored cryogenically at our partner’s biobanks. Every sample is readily available for shipping and intended for the development of diagnostics, therapeutic agents, and assay validation in infectious disease research and quality control purposes.

How can we prevent infectious diseases?

Infections can be largely prevented by practising hygiene and taking precautions as follow: • Wash hands with soap and clean water or use alcohol-based hand sanitisers • Avoid close contact with infected individuals • Have safe and protected sex • Eat healthy, nutritious food • Avoid ingestion of contaminated food and water • Protect ourselves by taking appropriate vaccination • Avoid travelling to disease-endemic regions • Do not share personal belongings • Consult doctor, if you are unwell • Stop antibiotic abuse • Disinfect your utilities to prevent surface contamination
