The phrase "mitigating disease" is grammatically correct and can be used in written English.
It means to lessen or reduce the impact of a disease. Example: Public health officials are implementing new measures for mitigating disease in the community, such as promoting hand-washing and social distancing.
Our study shows that even limited vaccine supplies, if used optimally, can have an impact on mitigating disease burden in a middle-income country like Mexico.
If an influenza pandemic emerges, the likely limited supply of antivirals and vaccines will mean that non-pharmaceutical interventions have a major role to play in mitigating disease spread [11], [12].
Since inflammatory components are shared among different disorders, targeting inflammation is an attractive option for mitigating disease.
The study was not designed to prove that FS works in mitigating disease which will be the focus of larger trials.
It is critical to reduce TB diagnosis delay in mitigating disease transmission and minimizing the reproductive rate of the tuberculosis epidemic.
However, the clinical [44], [45], and genotype-phenotype relationships observed herein and previously [39] raise the possibility that for a therapeutic vaccine to be efficacious in mitigating disease progression rates, in addition to reducing the viral load, the vaccine may also need to target pathogenic viral load-independent factors.
As we emphasized in our editorial (Lioy and Rappaport 2011), both approaches have merit, and a combination of the two offers particular advantages for both identifying and preventing hazardous exposures, and thereby mitigating diseases.
As such, it is used extensively in mitigating depression, liver disease and osteoarthritis (Castillo et al. 2005; Papakostas et al. 2003; Mischoulon et al. 2012; Ringdahl and Pandit 2011; Papakostas et al. 2012; Harmand et al. 1987).
Determining how quickly pathogens can exhibit shifts in virulence, and the mechanisms underlying virulence shifts, is critical for understanding and mitigating emerging infectious disease threats.
We received many responses suggesting how such a boon could be applied to our most intractable challenges: curing cancer and other diseases; mitigating climate change, air pollution, and water scarcity; and searching for life and environments hospitable to humans through space exploration.
The model tool proved useful for illustrating the risk of introduction of endemic diseases and the mitigating effect of biosecurity measures on farm level.
