The Ecology & Evolution of Macroparasites Working Group (aka Macroparasite Working Group), focuses on how metazoan parasites evolve and are maintained in natural and modified ecosystems. Systems of interest include arthropod ectoparasites, gut helminths, and others. The Macroparasite Working Group is supporting the new Atlas of Macroparasite Abundance project, which […]
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 […]
If you are an undergrad, graduate student, postdoc, faculty member, or an interested scientist looking for an opportunity to work with the Center for the Ecology of Infectious Diseases at The University of Georgia, we offer several avenues for motivated people to take advantage of our abundant opportunities. Please check […]
The CEID seeks to develop a technically capable workforce through our training programs and ongoing research projects. We seek to enhance opportunities for undergraduate research that taps into the interdisciplinary nature of disease ecology, preparing students for graduate studies on the complex forces that drive transmission. Undergraduate students are encouraged […]
On January 24, 2020, the The Center for the Ecology of Infectious Diseases (CEID) at the University of Georgia formed the Coronavirus Working Group, a group of about 20 scientists with data science expertise in data manipulation and interpretation, visualization, GIS, machine learning, computational statistics, and dynamical modeling. The Working Group’s 2019 Coronavirus Tracker provides […]
Established in October 2017, this working group aims to develop the Center’s collective expertise in mapping and spatial modeling of infectious diseases. These efforts include developing learning resources for other center members while working on collaborative mapping/modeling projects to provide hands-on experience to group members. We have developed tutorials for […]
Established September 2017 The Disease Forecasting Working Group aims to advance our capacity to forecast infectious disease dynamics by developing next generation time series modeling methods, and by developing a forecasting framework to facilitate the efficient and effective forecasting of infectious diseases in real time. Next generation forecast models. The […]
The University of Georgia offers two bachelor’s degrees in ecology. The Bachelor of Science in Ecology has a strong basic science emphasis and provides training in all levels of ecological study from organismal biology to population and community and ecosystem ecology. This program prepares students for graduate study in Ecology (for instance, […]
We welcome guest faculty and industry representatives who seek to collaborate on projects related to infectious disease. Please contact Dr. John Drake for more information.
