Host-pathogen interactions research explores the complex relationship between a host organism and a pathogenic microorganism, such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Researchers study how pathogens invade host cells, evade the immune system, and cause disease, as well as how the host responds to infection and tries to defend against the pathogen. This field of study is vital for understanding infectious diseases, developing new treatments and vaccines, and improving public health strategies to prevent and control infections.
