The Infectious Diseases Research Area includes research on the causes, transmission, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of human diseases caused by pathogens (such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites). Research on animal-specific pathogens when they serve as models for human infectious diseases is included. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases supports research in this area.
