B. it allows scientists to prevent meiosis and the duplication of genes necessary for the survival of the pathogen
C. it allows the development of drugs that make antibodies against the pathogen
D. it allows the development of drugs that target metabolic pathways unique to the pathogen
E. it allows scientists to predict likely hosts of the pathogen using phylogenetic analysis
D. it allows the development of drugs that target metabolic pathways unique to the pathogen
