Disease Ecology: Understanding the Ecological Dynamics of Disease

Foundations of Ecology → Disease Ecology Case Studies

This advanced learning path explores the ecological principles governing infectious disease dynamics, integrating concepts from ecology, microbiology, and public health. It covers pathogen biology, host-pathogen interactions, transmission dynamics, vector-borne diseases, zoonoses, and the impact of environmental change. The path emphasizes systems thinking and prepares students to analyze real-world disease emergence and control from an ecological perspective.
