Antiviral Research
Antiviral Research
Antiviral research focuses on developing drugs and therapies to prevent and treat viral infections. It involves studying viral replication, host–virus interactions, and mechanisms of drug resistance. Antiviral research supports treatment of diseases such as influenza, HIV, hepatitis, and emerging viral infections. From a public health perspective, antivirals reduce disease severity, transmission, and mortality. Research also supports pandemic preparedness and outbreak response. Challenges include viral mutation, drug resistance, and equitable access. Continued antiviral research is critical for global health security and effective control of viral diseases.
