Microbial pathogenesis is the study of the mechanisms by which
microbes (bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and multicellular parasites)
cause infectious disease and make their hosts (humans) ill.
Bacterial infections we thought were easily treatable are again a
huge cause for concern with the well-publicized rise of antibiotic
resistance. There are very few effective antiviral drugs and we
live with the threat of epidemics such as bird flu and the
outbreaks of viruses such the recent (and ongoing) Ebola crisis.
Parasitic diseases such as malaria continue to pose a heavy burden
in the developing world and with climate change could spread into
the developed world. There is therefore an urgent need to
understand microbial mechanisms, with research programmes and
university courses dedicated to the subject.
