SHORT DESCRIPTION
The key target of this workshop is
to analyse the most pressing and intriguing aspects of the dynamics
and epidemiology of infectious diseases, by addressing issues such
as economic impact of infectious diseases of wildlife and human population,
virulence evolution, adaptation and antibiotic resistance, costs and
effectiveness of vaccination and other control strategies, the relationship
among poverty, malnutrition and diseases, the effect of habitat alteration
and climate change on disease epidemics and the emergence of new and
resurgent diseases. The workshop is aimed to bridge the gap between
the epidemiological and the economic approach. The debate on aspects
previously missing or inadequately tackled should be stimulated by
presenting a range of models and case studies and by discussing their
results. A lot of attention will be given to work in progress in order
to capture the latest developments in the field. Insights regarding
key issues lacking in the economic or epidemiological analysis are
expected and strategies to improve the actual state of integrated
approach will be analysed.
