Microorganisms are an essential part of life on Earth and play an important role in almost every natural cycle. The “Microbiology in Human Health and Disease” Section focuses on microbiology in the contexts of human health and diseases, including infectious diseases, the interactions between pathogenic microorganisms and hosts, bacteriology, mycology, virology, and parasitology. The perspective of the Section is that microorganisms and public health are closely intertwined and that advances in one area will have positive consequences in another.
