Articles that describe the major and notable researchers associated with the discovery of the links between infectious agents, including Nobel Prize recipients should also be included. Diagnostic tests that determine the presence of these infectious agents should be part of this category. Articles that describe the prevention of acquiring these infections are also appropriate.
