Host Immunity and Molecular Mechanisms Against Viral Pathogens

Explore host immunity and molecular mechanisms against viral pathogens in this comprehensive 2-hour 14-minute lecture by Kesavardana Sannula. Delve into the intricate world of disease ecology as part of the "Emerging Infectious Diseases: Ecology and Evolution" program organized by the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Gain valuable insights into how ecological and environmental processes influence the distribution, prevalence, and dynamics of diseases in animal populations. Examine the fundamental principles of disease ecology, including the biology of pathogens, host populations, and environmental factors that shape disease dynamics. Learn about the role of sequencing techniques and data analyses in understanding and managing disease outbreaks. Discover how changes in biodiversity are linked to human health and well-being, and how they can alter natural transmission cycles of pathogens. Benefit from this interdisciplinary approach that integrates theories from ecology, evolution, mathematics, and other scientific disciplines to address real-world challenges in disease ecology.
