Explore approaches to studying pathogens in ecological communities in this comprehensive lecture by Ansil B R from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the field of disease ecology, examining how ecological and environmental processes influence the distribution, prevalence, and dynamics of diseases in animal populations. Learn about the integration of theories from various scientific disciplines, including ecology, evolution, and mathematics, to understand the complex relationships between pathogens, hosts, and their environments. Gain insights into the importance of this field in light of recent global health challenges such as COVID-19 and Ebola. Discover how studying disease ecology can provide valuable knowledge about disease emergence, spread, and impact on ecosystems and human societies. Examine the fundamental principles of disease ecology, including pathogen biology, host population dynamics, and environmental factors influencing disease transmission. Investigate the role of advanced sequencing techniques and data analysis in understanding and managing disease outbreaks. This lecture is part of the "Emerging Infectious Diseases: Ecology and Evolution" program, offering a deep dive into the intersection of biodiversity changes, human health, and pathogen transmission cycles.
