Research on Infection and Immunity aims to enhance understanding of the mechanisms of host defence against infection, and translate this understanding into prevention and treatment.
The research programmes include a wide range of activities including studies of:
- host/pathogen interactions (including work on viruses, bacteria, parasites and spongiform encephalopathy agents)
- the immune systems of animals and how they respond to pathogen challenge
- genetic resistance to disease
- epidemiology of disease
