Pathogen resistance research focuses on understanding how pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites, evolve and adapt to resist treatment or control measures. This field of study seeks to develop strategies to combat pathogen resistance, such as through the development of new drugs, vaccines, and management practices. By studying the genetic, molecular, and ecological mechanisms underlying pathogen resistance, researchers aim to enhance our ability to prevent and control infectious diseases in both humans and animals.
