Pathogen Discovery - Lecture 2
Explore the intricacies of pathogen discovery in this comprehensive lecture by Chitra Pattabhiraman, part of the "Emerging Infectious Diseases: Ecology and Evolution" program at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the fascinating world of disease ecology, examining how ecological and environmental processes influence the distribution, prevalence, and dynamics of diseases in animal populations. Learn about the latest sequencing techniques and data analysis methods used to understand and manage disease outbreaks. Gain valuable insights into the factors shaping disease dynamics and acquire tools to address real-world challenges in disease ecology. This 1-hour 17-minute lecture is an essential component of a broader course that integrates theories from various scientific disciplines to explore the complex relationships between biodiversity changes, human health, and the emergence of new infectious diseases.
