SOME REASONS FOR STUDYING THE EVOLUTION OF INFECTIOUS
DISEASE
1. We all have a vested interest since we’re susceptible and infectious disease touches everyone’s life
- HIV, flu, colds, antibiotics, immune system

2. It’s where the data are.
- There is a huge amount of sequence data from medically important microbes
- Viruses and bacteria were the first sequenced genomes, beguilingly simple

3. “infectious disease” covers a sizable fraction of the diversity of life on Earth
"So, the naturalists observe, the flea,Hath smaller fleas that on him prey;And these have smaller still to bite 'em;And so proceed, ad infinitum"--Jonathan Swift

4. You can often see evolution’s fingerprint more clearly in pathogens…
-microbes evolve in “real time”, fast-paced-vertebrate immune system as an evolutionary
response-positive selection, amino acid by amino acid

like?-How long will current malaria drugs
work?

evolution by natural selectionevolution by natural selection
• A process much like artificial selection, used by breeders of domesticated plants and animals to select for desirable traits,also happens in nature:
1. Individuals within populations are variable2. The variations among individuals are, at least in
part, passed on from parents to offspring.3. In every generation, some individuals are more
successful at surviving and reproducing than others
4. The survival and reproduction of individuals are not random: those with the most favorable variations are naturally selected

• Relatively new science; origin usually attributed to Edward Jenner, but has deep roots in folk medicine
• Jenner discovered in 1796 that cowpox (vaccinia) induced protection against smallpox
• Jenner called his procedure “vaccination”

• It took almost two centuries for smallpox vaccination to become universal
• Vaccination enabled the WHO to announce in 1979 that smallpox had been eradicated, arguably the greatest triumph in modern medicine.

• Forty-one percent of the world's population live in areas where malaria is transmitted (e.g., parts of Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Central and South America, Hispaniola, and Oceania).
• * An estimated 700,000-2.7 million persons die of malaria each year, 75% of them African children.
• * In areas of Africa with high malaria transmission, an estimated 990,000 people died of malaria in 1995 – over 2700 deaths per day, or 2 deaths per minute.

The Evolution & Ecology of Infectious The Evolution & Ecology of Infectious DiseaseDisease
This question can approached from two directions:
1.From the point of view of the host. What specific defense mechanisms of the host allow it to suppress infection (entry, attachment, invasion, replication) by certain agents and not others?
2.From the point of view of the pathogen. What are the differences between the agents that cause disease and those that do not?

Molecular phylogenetics fundamentalsMolecular phylogenetics fundamentalsAll of life is related by common ancestry. Recovering this pattern, the "Tree of Life",
is one of the primary goals of evolutionary biology. Even at the population level, the phylogenetic tree is indispensable as a tool for estimating parameters of interest. Likewise at the among species level, it is indispensable for examining patterns of diversification over time. First, you need to be familiar with some tree terminology.

Case study: fever and neurosyphilisCase study: fever and neurosyphilis
• Julius Wagner-Jauregg noted that some syphilis patients improved after getting malaria and that syphilis was rare in areas where malaria was common
• intentionally infected thousands of syphilis patients with malaria
• remission rates for syphilis increased from less than 1 percent to 30 percent
• Won the 1927 Nobel Prize for medicine or physiology, but isn’t talked about much these days…
