Prevention Science

Prevention Science is a scholarly discipline that systematically develops, evaluates, and refines evidence-based strategies, theories, and interventions aimed at mitigating or averting the emergence, transmission, or impact of health threats—such as blood parasites, zoonotic pathogens, and ecologically disruptive invasive species—through proactive, multidisciplinary approaches grounded in epidemiological, ecological, and behavioral research.
