Emerging Viral Pathogens: Unravelling Molecular Mechanisms of Infection

Abstract

Neil Garvey

This paper focuses on the study of emerging viral pathogens and the unraveling of their molecular mechanisms of infection. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies, diagnostics and therapeutics. The multidisciplinary approach employed in this research combines virology, molecular biology, immunology, epidemiology and bioinformatics. Key areas of investigation include viral structure, viral entry mechanisms, viral replication, immune responses, reservoir hosts and vectors. Technological advancements have significantly contributed to the field, allowing for rapid genome sequencing, high-throughput screening and computational modeling. Overall, the study of emerging viral pathogens and their molecular mechanisms of infection provides critical insights into combatting these global health threats.
