BIO 333 DISEASE ECOLOGY
This course focuses on disease dynamics, modeling, and host-pathogen interactions in the context of ecology. Students will read and discuss literature associated with wildlife and human diseases, including flu, malaria, Lyme Disease, Ebola, HIV, chytridiomycosis, SARS/MERS, and plague. Discussions will include ethics and social impacts of disease, such as xenophobia, medical ethics, bias, and marginalization.
Notes
There will be one additional course section (length of a typical lab section: 2 hours 45 min) that will be a discussion section that all students are required to attend. This is the length of a typical lab, but is not a lab and should not count as a lab.
Enrollment Limit
Enrollment limited to 24 students.
