Importance of Studying Virology
Understanding viral evolution and behavior
Control of viral infections
Public health and global security
Economic impact in agricultural and livestock industries
factors under the “understanding of viral evolution and behavior”
Predicting future outbreaks
developing effective countermeasures
“Understanding viral evolution and behavior”
How do we able to PREDICT FUTURE OUTBREAKS
by studying the evolution of viruses and their interactions with host, scientist can better anticipate and prepare for new viral threats
“Understanding viral evolution and behavior”
How do we able to DEVELOP EFFECTIVE COUNTERMEASURES
development of targeted and prevention strategies based on how they behave and evolve
Factors under the CONTROL OF VIRAL INFECTION
vaccine development
antiviral drug development
disease prevention and control
“CONTROL OF VIRAL INFECTION”
how vaccine development works?
virology research is essential for creating vaccines that protect against viral infection
“CONTROL OF VIRAL INFECTION”
how antiviral drug development works
by studying viral replication and structure scientist can develop drugs to inhibit viral growth
“CONTROL OF VIRAL INFECTION”
how disease prevention and control works
by understanding how viruses spread and cause disease is crucial for implementing effecting public health measures
factors under “PUBLIC HEALTH AND GLOBAL SECURITY”
pandemic preparedness
biosecurity
“PUBLIC HEALTH AND GLOBAL SECURITY”
how do we implement PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESS
by studying past pandemics helps us prepare for future outbreaks and develop response plans
“PUBLIC HEALTH AND GLOBAL SECURITY”
how BIOSECURITY works
by understanding viral threats for protecting against bioterrorism and accidental releases of dangerous viruses
factors under “EGONOMIC IMPACT”
agricultural and livestock industries
how agricultural and livestock are affected by viral infection
viruses can cause significant economic losses in agriculture and animal husbandry. Studying theses viruses helps develop prevention and control measures
example of viral infection in PH
ASF and Bird Flu wherein once infected, they will be depopulated
