More precisely, she will present a synthesis of the main diseases transmitted by mosquitoes currently present in Canada, then will discuss the elements of virus transmission between mosquitoes and their host as well as the variables that influence this transmission (biotic and abiotic variables). She will finish by evoking some examples of work she is involved in which explore all this in order to illustrate how this vast problem can be studied from a population point of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bio:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Ludwig is a trained veterinarian. She graduated from the veterinary school of Lyon (France) in 2002. After a year in veterinary practice (pets, horses), she went back to school and did a Master in modeling at the university of Grenoble (France) in 2003. In 2004, she came in Canada to do her PhD on the impact of the West Nile virus on American crow populations in southern Quebec. She completed her PhD in 2008 and joined the public health agency of Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Ludwig works with the Public Health Risk Sciences division from the National Microbiology Laboratory of the Public Health Agency of Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her research focuses on identifying zoonotic disease and modelling environmental determinants of disease vectors that present a danger to public health. She specializes in modelling zoonotic vectors transmitted by insects; and works on West Nile virus and other diseases transmitted by mosquitos and ticks, notably as they relate to climate change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[43],"cu_event_audience":[15],"class_list":["post-13405","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","hentry","cu_event_type-seminar-series","cu_event_audience-anyone"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2023-03-17T13:00:00","cu_event_end_date":"2023-03-17T14:00:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":"TT","cu_event_meeting_room":"4440Q","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":false,"cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":"","cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"","cu_event_email":"biology@carleton.ca","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/13405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/13405\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13535,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/13405\/revisions\/13535"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=13405"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=13405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
