Evidence continues to mount implicating microorganisms as etiologic agents of chronic diseases that contribute to substantial mortality and morbidity. This session will examine definitive and emerging associations between infectious agents and chronic diseases with a range of pathogenic mechanisms and diversity in etiologic microbes.

Session II Challenges in Framing the Research
Identification and confirmation of the infectious causation of chronic diseases are complicated by several factors, which include detection of microbes at the time of diagnosis of the chronic condition, the lack of adequate methods to identify novel or rare microorganisms, and the influence of environmental and genetic factors on the etiology of the chronic diseases. This session will examine these challenges and identify existing and potential methods and technologies for overcoming these obstacles.

Session IV Implications for Developing Countries
As researchers, clinicians, and policymakers have recognized the growing disease burden from chronic diseases in developing countries, understanding of the infectious etiology of these diseases becomes increasingly important in these areas where many infectious diseases still remain endemic. This session will review the consequences of highly prevalent infectious diseases linked to chronic diseases and explore the global and local response needed to combat these outcomes in resource-limited environments.

Session V Barriers and Opportunities to Detect, Prevent, and Mitigate the Impact of Chronic Diseases Caused by Infectious Agents
The complexity of the relationship between infectious agents and chronic diseases requires a multi-disciplinary approach to reveal the implications of early detection and prevention of chronic diseases caused by infectious agents. This session will summarize the advances and gaps in collaborative research on detection and diagnostic technologies, their integration with epidemiological studies and surveillance that can forward the efforts in this important area, and the implications for clinical management practices and priorities.
