Animal Virology
Animal Virology is the study of viruses that infect animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish. Researchers in this field investigate the transmission, pathogenesis, and immune responses of viral infections in animals. This discipline also focuses on developing vaccines and antiviral therapies to prevent and treat viral diseases in animal populations. Additionally, Animal Virology plays a crucial role in understanding zoonotic viruses that can be transmitted from animals to humans, highlighting the importance of One Health approaches to disease control and prevention.
