"The Economics of Pandemic Prevention and Control: An Overview"

We will discuss the epi-econ approach, which combines epidemiological and economic modeling to address some of the shortcomings of traditional epidemiological models, notably the absence of explicit modeling of incentives and of strategic behavior by individuals and by policy-makers. These models treat pandemic spillover as an exogenous shock. Yet, unlike earthquakes or asteroid events, pandemic emergence results partly from human activities, including value chains for livestock...

"The aldehyde hypothesis”

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a human-exclusive pathogen, is arguably the deadliest microbe on the planet. While SARS-CoV-2 killed more people than M. tuberculosis for a year or two, it is estimated M. tuberculosishas killed 1-2 million people yearly for millennia. The long coexistence of this bacterial species with humans has likely resulted in the selection of host and pathogen populations that prevent either's extinction. We propose...

Artificial intelligence is a broad and growing discipline that touches many facets of everyday life for humans and is more recently emerging in veterinary medicine through topics like companion animal health, population medicine and zoonotic diseases, and digital agriculture and food sustainability. While there has been considerable growth in the use of AI in human medicine, to date, there has been no concerted effort to bring veterinarians practitioners and AI researchers together and share knowledge. This symposium, the first of its kind, will provide a forum for veterinarians, computer...

Lund Critical Debate

Climate change has a disproportionate impact on the world’s most vulnerable populations, yet climate crises also impact people across the full spectrum of wealth and power. How do we understand these varied impacts and design climate policy to maximize human well-being and justice on a global level?

As climate change accelerates, we see the rise of violent conflict and humanitarian emergencies in some places but not others. In some places but not...

“Impact of phages on cholera and their use in preventing infection”

Phages play major roles in the ecology and evolution of bacteria, including many human pathogens. We found that cholera patients often shed stools with high titers of one of three species of  phages. We provide evidence that these three phages prey extensively on V. cholerae within the human gastrointestinal tract, and impact the infection, dissemination, transmission and evolution of V. cholerae...
