Methods and compounds for mitigating pathogen outbreaks using Replikin Count Cycle

摘要

The present invention provides methods of predicting increases in pathogenic virulence, morbidity, and/or mortality or expansion in pathogen populations within regions or into new regions by identifying cycles or ratios of increasing concentrations of a family of small peptides expressed in pathogens and provides compounds comprising the small peptides for treatment and prevention of pathogenic outbreaks.
