To address these themes, the proposals should integrate one of the following approaches:
(i) Application of novel approaches and technologies such as metagenomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics.
(ii) Integration of new approaches to understand the effect of the pathogen upon infection and to develop biomarkers, preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic tools.
