Call for abstracts: Ecology meets epidemiology

Publicerad: 17 januari 2017

Diseases have profound impact on all forms of life, and can determine the fate of individuals and populations. Importantly, most pathogenes can infect more than one host species, which means that diseases are often shared and shaped by interactions among species in the environment.

At the Ecology meets epidemiology workshop we wish to gather scientist from biological, veterinarian and medical faculties to discuss the latest topics in disease ecology, ranging from animal ecology, disease epidemiology and immunology. The workshop is organized by One Health Sweden, a network of researchers across diciplines interested in the ecology and epidemiology of multihost and zoonotic pathogenes.

We excpecially encourage young researchers (PhD students and postdocs) to come and present their work, meet senior researchers and exchange ideas with peers.
