Pathogen transport is a research area that focuses on the movement of disease-causing microorganisms (pathogens) through various environmental systems, such as soil, water, and air. This research is important for understanding how pathogens spread and survive in different environments, which can inform strategies for controlling and preventing disease outbreaks. Pathogen transport studies often involve using mathematical models, laboratory experiments, and field observations to track and predict the movement of pathogens in the environment. This research can have implications for public health, agriculture, and environmental management.
