| Course Title: Conference Course: 'Disease Ecology' |
| Start Date: 09/07/2022 End Date: 12/20/2022 |
| Term: Fall Semester 2022 |
| Description: The effects of emerging wildlife diseases are global and profound. They can result in economic and agricultural impacts, declines in wildlife populations, ecological disturbance and even the loss of human lives. Disease dynamics are governed by species interactions and the abiotic environment. We will consider the synergistic effects of globalization, climate change, and agriculture on the spread of pathogens. This course will focus on both wildlife diseases and the ecological context of vector-borne human pathogens, including but not limited to the Sylvatic plague, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease and the newly emergent Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus. |
