EPPIcenter Seminar: Courtney Murdock - The Role of the Environment in Vector-borne Disease Transmission

A main driver of vector-borne disease transmission is the ecology of the insect vector. Changes in climate and land use alter ecological relationships insect vectors have with their hosts and pathogens, resulting in shifts in transmission. The research in the Murdock lab applies ecological and evolutionary theory to better understand the host-vector-pathogen interaction, key environmental drivers of transmission, and how environmental change will affect vector-borne disease transmission and control.

EPPIcenter Seminar: Jessica Metcalf- Open configuration options Infection dynamics and vaccination in a changing world: from climate drivers to immunity

Jessica Metcalf is a demographer with broad interests in evolutionary ecology, infectious disease dynamics and public policy. She works on questions ranging from how changing human demography might change infectious disease incidence and spread; to what drives dynamics of rubella and other childhood infections through space and time; and how these various patterns intersect with vaccine deployment.  .

ID modeling seminar

Join researchers from Bekeley, the EPPIcenter and Proctor in lively discussions centered around modeling infectious disease. This small group meets monthly, and welcomes serious participants.

Feb 11 Luis Esquivel Gomez and Paula Weidemüller from the EPPIcenter @ UCSF will present
