1: Spurious Correlations : The Need for a Killer Experiment “If we Import 4,500 Tons of Lemons per annum we could eradicate all Highway Fatalities!” Only 24.8 million Lemons = 0.1 lemons per person! “If we Import 4,500 Tons of Lemons per annum we could eradicate all Highway Fatalities!” Only 24.8 million Lemons = 0.1 lemons per person! 4

Biodiversity reduces risk of exposure to zoonotic infections ~ Non competent hosts are a sink to infection (wasted bites) Biodiversity reduces risk of exposure to zoonotic infections ~ Non competent hosts are a sink to infection (wasted bites) Generalized: The Competent Hosts are The Resilient hosts So depauperate communities more likely to transmit 1.

Key Point 2: Coinfections introduce important transmission heterogeneities? How & When?

3: R 0: Whence the Alternative Hypotheses: Persistence R 0 ~ initial spread, likelihood of epidemic, vaccination proportion BUT Selection does not always maximize R 0 : e.g. Superinfection NEED to test other hypotheses & Models – Persistence R 0 ~ initial spread, likelihood of epidemic, vaccination proportion BUT Selection does not always maximize R 0 : e.g. Superinfection NEED to test other hypotheses & Models – Persistence R 0 = Transmission* Infectious Period (1/mortality) R 0 with High transmission * Low infectious period = Low Transmission * High infectious period But Different dynamics & Persistence likelihood R 0 = Transmission* Infectious Period (1/mortality) R 0 with High transmission * Low infectious period = Low Transmission * High infectious period But Different dynamics & Persistence likelihood Grenfell 2002 Epidemic Fadeout 16

1. Macroparasite Complex Life Cycles: Heteroxenic Opisthorcis life cycle M1M1 M2M2 M3M3 T1T1 T2T2 T3T3 Dobson, Hudson & Lyles 1992 Geoff Parker : Complex life cycle evolved to increase R 0. Reduced larval mortality & increased adult body size leads to high fecundity ~ Complex Life Cycles ~ Indirect ~ Heteroxenic 19

Key Point 3: Maximizing R 0 is but one Hypothesis.. Alternative: Persistence Persistence Mechanisms in Neuro infections 20

Point 1: Need for Experiments Point 2: Coinfections generate heterogeneities Point 3: R 0 is but one hypothesis ~ Persistence

Keypoint 4: Alternative hypotheses: Pathogen evolution: Host selection ~ those with long infectious periods ~ but not humans 4. What happens After Invasion? … Pathogen or Host Selection ? Phocine Distemper Virus Rabbit Hemorrhagic Virus Mycoplasma in Bighorns
