How do we study pathogens?
There are many different ways to investigate pathogens, however most studies can be broadly categorised into one of the following approaches:
- Genomic
- Phenotypic
- Epidemiological
Continue through the next few pages to discover more about each of these approaches. At the end of this section there will also be an opportunity to test your learning on these study types.
