Funded Activity Summary

How can cultural innovations trigger the emergence of new diseases? This project aims to develop new mathematical and computational models to examine whether cultural innovations creates conditions for the emergence of new diseases. It will combine elements of microbial evolution and cultural evolution to advance a new modelling framework to consider their joint dynamics. The expected outcome is an enhanced understanding of how human behaviour influences the emergence of infections. This will bring benefits of computational models for broad use in understanding complex population processes, and training to maintain mathematical and computational skills in the Australian workforce.
