Research spotlight: Modeling how diseases spread

less than 1 minute read

Published:

In order to predict and fight animal disease outbreaks, epidemiologists and other researchers need to understand how a given disease spreads through landscapes and populations. Factors contributing to the ability of a pathogen to spread include the features of the environment as well as the movement of the animals through that landscape. Human activity is changing landscapes, with the result that they are becoming increasingly heterogeneous (with differences occurring across the landscape). The effect of this increasing heterogeneity on the spread of disease is unclear…

Recently I had the opportunity to contribute a short piece on painted turtles to the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy’s quarterly publication, “The Habitat Herald.” I’ve always been interested in scientific writing for a more general audience, and this was a wonderful chance to break out of my manuscript-writing mindset. Check it out here on p. 15.

Defining an epidemiological landscape that connects movement ecology to pathogen transmission and pace-of-life.

Published in Journal 1, 2009

Pathogen transmission depends on host density, mobility and contact. These components emerge from host and pathogen movements that themselves arise through interactions with the surrounding environment.
