传染病仍然是全球人类和动物面临的主要问题。在IGH中，我们研究了人类和动物的多种重要传染病，包括在动物和人之间传播的人畜共患病。我们的工作发生在英国，欧洲，非洲和亚洲。与动物有关的感染和全球健康主要发生在Leahurst校园，那里有多学科的工作人员，包括临床合格的兽医和医学研究人员，统计学家，数学家和基础科学家，共同努力解决一系列问题。其中包括对人畜共患病原体的调查，抗菌素耐药性的传播，了解人类行为是疾病传播的驱动力，控制和预防养殖动物和伴侣动物的主要传染病以及环境和气候对疾病传播的影响。
Infectious diseases remain major problems worldwide for people and animals. In IGH we study a wide range of important infectious diseases of people and animals, including zoonotic diseases that transmit between animals and people. Our work occurs in UK, Europe, Africa and Asia. The University of Liverpool's Institute of Infection and Global Health was established to bring together leading medical, veterinary and basic science researchers from across the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences.<br>Infection and Global Health related research in humans includes basic, clinical and epidemiological studies of a range of neurological, gastrointestinal, respiratory, vector-borne and sexually-transmitted infections of adults and children.<br>Infection and Global Health related in animals takes place predominantly at the Leahurst campus, where multidisciplinary staff, including clinically-qualified veterinary and medical researchers, statisticians, mathematicians and basic scientists, work together to address a range of issues. These include the investigation of zoonotic pathogens, the spread of antimicrobial resistance, understanding human behaviour as a driver of disease transmission, control and prevention of major infectious diseases of farmed and companion animals, and the influence of the environment and climate on the transmission of disease.
