The integration of genomics into infectious disease control has revolutionized pathogen detection, surveillance, and treatment strategies. With advancements in next-generation sequencing (NGS), genomic technologies have enabled the identification of infectious agents, tracing their transmission, and monitoring of antimicrobial resistance. Genomic epidemiology offers a powerful tool for outbreak investigations by identifying transmission chains and understanding pathogen evolution. Furthermore, genomics supports precision medicine, allowing for tailored treatments based on both pathogen and host genomes. This paper reviews the applications of genomics in disease detection, outbreak management, antimicrobial resistance surveillance, and precision medicine, underscoring its pivotal role in global public health efforts. The future of infectious disease control will be shaped by genomics, with an emphasis on enhanced diagnostics, personalized treatment, and real-time pathogen tracking. Keywords: Genomics, Infectious Diseases, Next-Generation Sequencing, Outbreak Investigation, Genomic Epidemiology.
