<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The current COVID-19 crisis has reminded us of the danger posed by infectious diseases, which were already recognized as the second most common cause of death in humans. The diversity and complexity of
the microbial world are immense as well as their pathogenic potential. It is crucial to understand the biology of infectious pathogens and therefore to use increasingly sophisticated equipment to track them at the intracellular or molecular levels so as to
better understand how they hijack the cellular factors and pathways of their infected hosts and thus find ways to counteract them. </span></div>
