Abstract
Pathogen dynamics refers to the intricate interactions between infectious agents (pathogens) and their hosts, which significantly influence disease emergence, transmission, and control. This article explores key concepts in pathogen dynamics, including life cycles, transmission mechanisms, and host-pathogen interactions, while highlighting factors that affect these dynamics such as environmental changes, globalization, and antimicrobial resistance. Understanding these dynamics is essential for effective public health strategies, enabling the prediction and management of outbreaks, guiding vaccine development, and optimizing resource allocation. As global challenges continue to evolve, a comprehensive understanding of pathogen dynamics is crucial for safeguarding public health against emerging infectious diseases.
