Infectious diseases arise from the invasion of tissues by pathogenic microorganisms and any resulting host-pathogen interactions. Pathogens are a diverse group of assailants and there are many unique species of bacteria, viruses, and parasites. In the investigation of disease-causing agents, antibodies can serve as useful tools for the detection of specific antigens. Viruses such as Influenza, Hepatitis, Dengue, Polio, Corona, Zika and Herpes simplex can be identified using antibodies specific to them. The same can be said in the detection of bacteria like Salmonella, Helicobacter, Borrelia, Mycobacterium, and Chlamydia. Parasites that cause infectious diseases are commonly protists, helminths and ectoparasites. Antibodies targeting species such as Giardia, Cryptosporidium and Toxoplasma are therefore extremely useful for identification and tracking of disease progression.
