Individuals' Unique Genetic Makeup Can Greatly Influence Their Susceptibility Towards Disease

Explore how an individual's unique genetic makeup influences their susceptibility to diseases in this informative lecture by Ranajit Das from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the complex relationship between genetics and disease susceptibility as part of the "Emerging Infectious Diseases: Ecology and Evolution" program. Learn about the latest research and insights in the field of disease ecology, which integrates theories from ecology, evolution, and mathematics to understand how ecological and environmental processes impact disease distribution and dynamics in animal populations. Gain valuable knowledge about the factors shaping disease emergence, spread, and their effects on ecosystems and human societies. This 1 hour and 32 minute talk is an excellent resource for those interested in the intersection of genetics, disease ecology, and public health.
