Organization Description: |
The goal of the Instituto is to contribute with its efforts to the solution of national health problems, specially in the area of infectious diseases. Fully conscious that individual therapy will not be enough to deal successfully with such diseases, the members of the Instituto have promoted scientific research in many disciplines linked to prevention and control, including different areas, such as clinical aspects, diagnosis, epidemiology, socio-anthropological observations, ecological issues, and methods for primary health care with community participation. All this research is closely linked with the direct application of the findings to health care strategies. This has been the case, for example, with the use in the field of molecular diagnosis techniques for leishmaniosis (polymerase chain reaction, PCR), since 1989.
