This study evaluated the most dangerous infectious diseases in the world, assessing the control strategies and treatment recommended by world health organisation and development partners to tackle the menace. Infectious diseases have consistently posed one of the greatest threats to global health, social stability, and economic prosperity. In the context of carrying out this research, the following subheads were explored among many others- concept of infectious disease, health implications of each of the most dangerous disease in the world and treatment of the most dangerous infectious disease in the world as recommended by the WHO and developing partners. The following are the types of infectious disease as noted in the study: bacterial infections, viral infections and fungal infections. Furthermore, viral diseases, bacterial diseases and parasitic diseases were mentioned as the most dangerous infectious disease in the world. Moreover, the study also highlighted the control strategies of the most dangerous infectious disease in the world recommended by WHO and developing partners to include among many others: strengthening surveillance/early warning systems, immunisation / vaccine campaigns and case management and access to treatment. Based on this, the study concluded that infectious diseases remain one of the greatest challenges to global health, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. One of the recommendations made was that governments and international health organizations should invest in real-time disease surveillance, data-sharing platforms, and early detection technologies.
