Created in March 2021, the Behavior and Infectious Disease Working Group studies various systems used by ecologists to discern behaviors and is led by Lewis Bartlett, Emlyn Resetarits, and Elizabeth Warburton. This working group focuses on the behavioral traits of different hosts and their pathogens and examines how these traits can be assimilated into a framework that assesses the suitability of each host-pathogen system. The goal of this group is to identify a working system that is uniquely promising for investigating hypotheses directed toward host & pathogen interactions to predict the behaviors of infectious diseases.
