DESCRIPTION:Join us for this seminar by John Drake (University of Georgia
 ) as part of the Maths in the Life Sciences seminar series (and the onli
 ne North West Seminar Series in Mathematical Biology and Data Sciences i
 n collaboration with Liverpool Universities). \n\nTitle: Empirical Found
 ations for a Theory of Emerging Infectious Diseases in a Globalized Worl
 d\n\nAbstract: Emerging infectious diseases are often described as an in
 evitable consequence of globalization\, yet the empirical basis for this
  claim remains surprisingly thin. What\, precisely\, does globalization 
 mean in the context of disease emergence\, and how might its dimensions 
 be operationalized and tested? In this seminar\, I examine patterns in g
 lobal outbreak data from the late twentieth and early twenty-first centu
 ries to identify consistent signatures of emergence and re-emergence acr
 oss pathogens\, regions\, and transmission modes. I then outline a frame
 work that links these empirical regularities to specific “moments” of gl
 obalization—demographic\, ecological\, economic\, and technological—each
  with distinct causal pathways. By clarifying these relationships\, we c
 an move toward a more coherent\, evidence-based theory of how global con
 nectivity shapes infectious disease risk. The talk concludes by consider
 ing implications for pandemic prevention and for integrating social and 
 ecological processes into quantitative models of emergence.\n\nThe talk 
 will be also be streamed via Teams\, please contact carl.whitfield@manch
 ester.ac.uk or igor.chernyavsky@manchester.ac.uk for the zoom link\, or
