Biodiversity, People and Possible Pathogens - Understanding Spillover Dynamics

Explore the intricate connections between biodiversity, human health, and emerging infectious diseases in this comprehensive lecture. Delve into the field of disease ecology, examining how ecological and environmental changes influence the distribution, prevalence, and dynamics of diseases in animal populations. Gain valuable insights into the factors shaping disease emergence, spread, and impact on ecosystems and human societies. Learn about the fundamental principles of disease ecology, including pathogen biology, host populations, and environmental influences on disease dynamics. Discover the role of sequencing techniques and data analysis in understanding and managing disease outbreaks. Benefit from research seminars by faculty working in India and abroad, providing exposure to relevant ongoing work in the field. Equip yourself with the knowledge and tools necessary to address real-world challenges in disease ecology and emerging infectious diseases.
