It's a big question: how can invisible microbes shape the world we live in? The answer might surprise you
Scientists study viruses, parasites, and disease outbreaks to understand how infections spread and how they can be stopped. Epidemiologists track patterns of illness, virologists investigate powerful viruses, and parasitologists study organisms that live inside other creatures. From high-tech laboratories to fieldwork in forests as well as cities, researchers work together to uncover the threats that affect humans, animals, and ecosystems.
