NIH Director's Seminar Series: The ecology of emerging coronaviruses, from host reservoir to disease
In the past two decades, three coronaviruses have emerged and caused widespread outbreaks in humans. The origin of these zoonotic viruses has been traced back to bats as natural reservoir. Since the SARS epidemic in 2002 – 2003, the appreciation of bats as key hosts of zoonotic coronaviruses has advanced rapidly, but data underlying key drivers of the epidemic and pandemic emergence of these viruses remain limited. Here we discuss the emergence of MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. Highlighting the origin, genetic diversity, pandemic potential, transmission dynamics, pathogenicity, and development of countermeasure against these b...

Emerging Infectious Diseases in the 21st Century: A Prevention paradigm for surveillance, information sharing, & health diplomacy
Joseph Leiter Memorial Lecture
“Emerging Infectious Diseases in the 21st Century: A Prevention paradigm for surveillance, information sharing, & health diplomacy,” by Jonna Mazet, DVM, PhD, is Principal Investigator for “PREDICT - Wildlife SMART Surveillance for Zoonotic Diseases of Pandemic Potential,” a part of US Agency for International Development. Her specialty is studying diseases that could jump from an animal host population to a human population, such as SARS and Ebola. She will talk about the project and how to disseminate information to relevant agencies and groups to help prevent a pandemic or at lea...

Demystifying Medicine 2016: Ebola, MERS, and Likelihood of More Epidemics & Evolutionary Dynamics and Zoonotic and Cross-Species Transmission of Emerging Viruses
Demystifying Medicine is an annual course from January to May designed to help bridge the gap between advances in biology and their application to major human diseases. The course includes presentation of patients, pathology, diagnosis, and therapy in the context of major disease problems and current research, primarily directed toward Ph.D. students, fellows, and staff. All are invited.For more information go to https://demystifyingmedicine.od.nih.gov/

Genetic Basis of Protozoan Pathogan Emergence and Disease
NIH Director's Seminar
Dr. Grigg’s research program investigates the emergence and pathogenesis of prevalent zoonoses that infect a broad spectrum of animal and human hosts. His group is particularly focused on the protozoan parasites Toxoplasma, Leishmania, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium. He performs population and molecular genetic analyses, using both forward and reverse genetics, to identify virulence genes that control pathogenesis and perturb immune system homeostasis in animal models of natural infection. Recent work is exploring the extent to which protozoan parasites utilize their sexual cycles to rapidly produce...
