Statistical and Mathematical Modeling in Biological Applications
|
The seminar series Statistical and Mathematical Modeling in Biological Applications (SaMMBA) features monthly lectures and discussions with leading modelers in biological sciences. Presentations are in English or French and target an interdisciplinary audience. Seminars are held on the campus of Institut Pasteur. Access is free. However, to enter the campus, one needs a badge that is obtained at the main gate in exchange of a piece of ID (passport, citizen card or driver licence).
For additional information about the series contact the organizers: Pierre-Yves Böelle, Romulus Breban, Vittoria Colizza, Judith Legrand, Virginie Supervie, Laura Temime and Elisabeta Vergu. To arrange to meet with an invited speaker, contact the host of that speaker.

Mercedes PASCUAL Abstract: Among infectious diseases, water-borne and vector-borne infections are those potentially most susceptible to climate forcing because of the environmental nature of their transmission routes. This talk presents two case studies on the influence of climate variability on such diseases, the first one on cholera in Bangladesh, and the second one on desert malaria in northwest India. Results illustrate the clear role played by climate variability as a major driver of the population dynamics of both diseases, while also underscoring the increasing need to understand this role in the context of changing human ‘landscapes’. For cholera, the influence of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and flooding is examined in the megacity of Dhaka. For desert malaria in India, the influence of rainfall is considered together with how this influence is modified by irrigation-based development. Evidence is presented for a complex interaction between intervention levels and climate forcing in a long-lasting transition between rainfall-driven epidemics and sustainable elimination.
