Infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance
Last changed: 22 February 2023
Within this theme area, we focus on infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance. Such infectious diseases can be zoonoses, that is, they infect between animal and human, or be those that only affect the animals. As for antimicrobial resistance, it is one of the great health challenges of the future.
