Fascination Science public lecture Tuesday (28 May) - Ecology and infectious diseases: a mathematical perspective
Our next lecture in the Fascination Science series is on Tuesday 28th May 7pm-8.30pm at Massey University's Albany campus in the Sir Neil Waters lecture theatre.
Ecology and infectious diseases: a mathematical perspective
If you push an ecosystem too far the rules change. Parasites have been described as the dark matter in ecosystems, always there but often overlooked. Ecosystems may change for many reasons, including human actions and invasion by pests or pathogens. As ecosystems change new infectious diseases may emerge, and existing infections may reappear or change their host range. Mathematical models are necessary to unravel the complicated interactions between ecology and the epidemiology of infectious diseases.
In this talk, Prof. Mick Roberts will tell the story of a 27 year collaboration between New Zealand and the Netherlands, and how mathematics has been used to describe epidemics and pandemics.
