Abstract :

Molecular epidemiology is a progressive advancement within the field of epidemiology that utilizes molecular biology tools to provide insights that are unattainable through traditional methods. These tools aid to investigate zoonotic outbreaks, to establish surveillance systems, and to conduct the rapid diagnostic assays. Genotyping methods, include a diverse set of tools such as Pulse Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE), Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP). These techniques plays a pivotal role in addressing zoonotic diseases, multidrug-resistant organisms, viral infections, and parasitic zoonoses in veterinary and public health contexts.
