THE ECOLOGY OF PATHOGEN SPILLOVER, INVASION, AND PERSISTENCE
Presented by the Institute for Pandemic Insights
Seminar by Dr. Peter Hudson, Willaman Professor of Biology at Penn State University
Dr. Hudson is a world-renowned population ecologist and disease biologist who studies the ecology and evolution of infectious disease in free-living animal populations. His research has revealed the parasite-induced processes that drive population cycles and he has pioneered theories of host-natural enemy cycles and disease regulation by dilution effects. Dr. Hudson is a Fellow of the Royal Society (2008), an International Fellow of the Royal Society of Scotland (2010), a fellow of AAAS (2012), a Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society (2024) and a Fellow of the British Ecological Society (2025).
