HIV AIDS, influenza, tuberculosis and malaria are serious diseases caused when viruses, bacteria or parasites breach our body's defences and invade our cells, tissues and organs. Researchers within the Infection and Immunity Research Domain study these infectious agents, seeking to understand their mode of transmission and mechanisms of pathogenesis.
