2023 Fall iSHPS Seminar Series on Sept. 28,2023 at 12 pm CDT
|Dr. Jim Adelman will present “Understanding host competence in a wild song: potential mechanisms and consequences for disease dynamics”. This seminar focuses on host competence, or the propensity of one organism to transfer parasites/pathogens to another. To answer questions about host competence, my lab uses captive studies of house finches experimentally infected with their recently emerged bacterial pathogen, Mycoplasma gallisepticum–a tractable model of infectious disease dynamics after pathogens jump into a new host species. Specifically, we have been investigating heterogeneity in susceptibility (the probability of infection given exposure), the evolution of infection tolerance (minimizing fitness losses during infection), and the consequences of these host traits for pathogen transmission. Please join & learn more!
