Immunologists and Infectious Disease Specialists

Physicians and scientists who study or treat infection and the immune system, following the infectious disease and immunology branch of ISCO-08 Minor Group 2212. Belongs here: an immunologist, microbiologist, bacteriologist, virologist or parasitologist, whether practicing as a physician or working chiefly as a laboratory scientist, and a zoologist whose immunological work bears on human disease. Does not belong here: a physician whose SubLabel names a different primary specialty, such as pathology or public health, grouped under that specialty's own heading instead.
