Poverty and social inequalities have powerfully impacted not only the distribution of infectious and other diseases, but also the course of disease in those affected. The lack of proper diagnosis and access to adequate health services only compound the problem. In low-resource settings, the burden of disease can be reduced if the basic human and material resources exist to support the use of low-cost interventions by appropriately trained personnel. For almost 20 years, the Sustainable Sciences has built scientific capacity in developing countries through partnerships with local collaborators and has transferred the technological and scientific tools and knowledge needed for our developing country colleagues to help recognize, prevent and respond to the threats posed by disease in their communities. Key Words:
technology transfer, sustainable science in developing countries, infectious disease diagnosis, information and communication technologies
