GENOMICS RESEARCH THE UNDERPINNING OF INFECTIOU...

Infectious diseases are the second leading cause of death worldwide. Their dynamic nature due
to persistent  emerging  and re-emerging infections continues to challenge health care systems
around the world. In addition  individuals do not respond equally to infection  and pathogens
of the same species are more disparate than once thought. It is incontrovertible that much of
this diversity is attributable to genetic variation. Over the past two decades  genomics has
provided remarkable insight into susceptibility  resistance  and progression of infection  yet
the gap between genomics research and public health application remains large. This special
issue highlights the role of genomics in advancing our understanding of host-pathogen
interactions and in improving the quality of mainstay public health tools including genomic
epidemiology  diagnostics screening  and vaccines.
