This transdisciplinary course will examine the interface between pathogens and their hosts a multiple levels. We will begin with molecular and cellular interactions between host and pathogen species ...

Infectious disease dynamics, including severity, spread, and patient outcome, are shaped by host-pathogen interactions at multiple scales (ex: molecular, cellular, organismal, ecological).

Simplistically, 'pathogenesis of infection' defines the way that a given pathogen influences a host's immune system. But how one understands the interaction between pathogen and host can differ ...

We will also establish how interaction with host immunity and exposure to drugs will drive the evolution of pathogens. Using our established track record in pre-clinical and experimental medicine ...

Advances in medical sciences have reduced infectious disease mortality, but emerging pathogens pose global health threats.

Pathogens must interact with host molecules, namely host proteins, to infect a host, evade the immune system, and cause ...

Nonetheless, much of disease ecology has historically focused on interactions between a single host and parasite species, despite growing evidence that changes in host and pathogen community structure ...

Classical evolutionary theory states that virulence evolves to maximize a pathogen's basic reproduction ratio, i.e., the average number of secondary infections caused by one infected host.
