- 30. Questions?
- 32. • How the ecology of vectors of disease influences disease spread • For example, via - Species interactions - Abiotic environmental conditions What is vector ecology?
- 33. • How the ecology of vectors of disease influences disease spread • For example, via - Species interactions - Abiotic environmental conditions What is vector ecology? Christiansen-Jucht et al. 2014
- 34. Why is vector ecology important? • Examples: Malaria, Dengue, Zika Virus • Vector-borne diseases amount to 17% of all infectious diseases • They cause 700 000 deaths per year • The geographical range of many vectors is expanding WHO, 2020
- 35. EXAMPLE: influence of temp •Temperature influences the ecology of mosquito vectors. • Higher environmental temperature causes a decrease the likelihood of larval survival in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae Christiansen-Jucht et al. 2014
- 36. How can we use knowledge of disease ecology to prevent disease spread?
- 37. How can we use knowledge of disease ecology to prevent disease spread? Disease Ecology: how ecology influences disease spread. Hint, think about changing: 1. Species interactions 2. Abiotic environmental conditions
- 38. How could we test your idea (choose one)?
- 39. How could we test your idea (choose one)? Think about… 1. Hypothesis 2. Method 3. Experiment Design
- 40. • CRISPR-Cas9 technology • Release of genetically modified mosquitoes into the environment Use of mosquito Genetic Modification
- 41. How could you genetically modify a mosquito to prevent disease spread?
- 42. EXAMPLE: Sterile Insect Technique Friendly™ Technology, OXITEC • Type of GM mosquito • GM males released into wild populations • Results in sterile offspring
- 43. EXAMPLE: Sterile Insect Technique Friendly™ Technology, OXITEC
- 45. Mathematical Ecology • Use ordinary differential equations to simulate mosquito populations • Allows you to predict the effect of changes in the environment on mosquito populations
- 46. EXAMPLE: mosqutio species interactions
- 47. EXAMPLE: mosqutio species interactions Looks very complicated!!
- 48. EXAMPLE: mosqutio species interactions • Actually, very simple concepts Change in mosquito population size = births – deaths • The parameters (the symbols and letters!) in the model refer to the processes that cause the births and deaths
- 49. What could cause mosquito deaths?
- 50. Questions? Feel free to ask me about Coronavirus!
