Ecology and Evolution of Infection and Disease (EEID Journal Club

Nancy Chen will present, “Gastrointestinal helminths increase Bordetella bronchispetica shedding and host variation in supershedding.” < ZOOM LINK to access meeting remotely > EEID meets weekly to discuss topical papers about ecology and evolution of infectious diseases, drawn from both new and older literature. Topics often include:

• Pathogen/parasite and/or host evolution, immunity, virulence
• Pathogen/parasite transmission, behavioral manipulation
• Community level interactions impacting pathogens/diseases
• Spatial disease ecology
• Epizootiology/epiphytology, population genetics
• Emerging diseases
• Impact of climate change, extinction/extirpation on pathogens/parasites/diseases
