Explore the theory and mechanisms of pathogen spillover in this comprehensive lecture by Guha Dharmarajan. Delve into the complex dynamics of emerging infectious diseases and their ecological and evolutionary implications. Learn about the factors that contribute to the transmission of pathogens from one species to another, including environmental changes, biodiversity loss, and human activities. Examine case studies of recent spillover events and their impact on public health. Gain insights into the interdisciplinary approaches used to study and predict spillover events, combining concepts from ecology, evolution, mathematics, and epidemiology. Understand the importance of this knowledge in developing strategies to prevent and mitigate future disease outbreaks. This lecture is part of the "Emerging Infectious Diseases: Ecology and Evolution" program organized by the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, offering valuable knowledge for researchers, students, and professionals interested in disease ecology and global health challenges.
