Evolutionary Genetics of Infectious Diseases
The field of evolutionary genetics of infectious diseases explores the dynamic interplay between pathogens and their hosts over time, shedding light on the mechanisms driving disease emergence, spread, and adaptation. Through the lens of evolutionary genetics, researchers investigate how pathogens evolve in response to selective pressures, such as host immunity, antimicrobial treatments, and environmental changes. By studying the genetic diversity and evolution of infectious agents, scientists can better understand disease transmission dynamics, predict future outbreaks, and develop targeted interventions to mitigate disease burden. This interdisciplinary approach integrates principles from genetics, epidemiology, and evolutionary biology to unravel the intricate evolutionary trajectories of infectious diseases, offering valuable insights for public health strategies and disease control efforts.
