Ecology of Infectious disease

Disease Ecology focuses on understanding how infectious diseases spread through and impact host populations, and how hosts and pathogens react and evolve in response to one another.

The rapidly expanding discipline of disease ecology draws on the strengths of researchers in the biomedical, agricultural, veterinary and environmental sciences. The University of Georgia is uniquely strong in these areas and poised to play a substantial role in global health challenges.
