Pathogen control research focuses on ways to prevent, manage, and eliminate pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites that can cause diseases in humans, animals, and plants. This area of research explores various strategies and technologies to control pathogens, including vaccines, antimicrobial drugs, biosecurity measures, and sanitation protocols. The goal of pathogen control research is to reduce the spread of infectious diseases, protect public health, and ensure the safety of food and water supplies.
