Infectious Diseases Research

Infectious diseases - also known as contagious diseases, communicable diseases, or communicable diseases - are caused by pathogenic microorganisms that infect a host organism and can spread, directly or indirectly, from one organism to another.

Infectious disease research has the potential for wide application because everyone, in all parts of the world, is infected with microbes at some point in their life.

Microbes are simple organisms capable of rapid genetic mutation. Many are moving to new strains that are resistant to available therapies. The ease of international travel and a growing world population facilitate the problems associated with rapid microbial evolution.
