WHO launches global network to detect and prevent infectious disease threats

The Pharma Data

Pathogen genomics analyzes the genetic code of viruses, bacteria and other disease-causing organisms to understand how infectious they are, how deadly they are, and how they spread. Diseases do not respect borders: a disease threat in one country is also a threat to others.
