❓Why should models of non-persistent plant virus transmission include aphid vector dispersal & feeding behaviours? 🗣️ Explained by @ElinFalla at today's @livunimaths Mathematical Biology seminar 📄 To find out more, see associated @PLOSCompBiol paper: doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi…

Author summary Plant viruses can cause devastating disease epidemics. Non-persistently transmitted viruses are almost always vectored (transmitted between plants) by aphids. Experiments show virus...

🌿 Fact: 80% of the food we eat comes from plants. Protecting plant health is crucial for food security, as 20-40% of global food production is lost to pests and diseases annually. 🌱 #PlantHealthWeek #PlantHealthDay @DefraGovUK @APHAgovuk

LOVE hearing from @ElinFalla on her work modeling the effects of accounting for insect behavior in epidemic models. Really nice work, word is she has some cool field work that she's comparing her models back to, can't wait to see the papers! @nikcunniffe #IEW13 #sketchnotes

Always cool to hear from @nikcunniffe! He's been continuing some really cool modeling work on how best to manage disease when fungicide resistance is a real threat. #IEW13 #sketchnotes

#IEW1, way back in 1963, may have been a pioneering event, but several things have changed for the better. The suits and ties are gone. 🙂 And much more significantly, epidemiologists are far more diverse. In particular, it is great to see all the women in our field. 👏

Excellent presentation by Satish Viswanathan on plant persistent viruses in pepper at #ICPP2023 @icpp2023 ! Satish is the first to figure out a way of ‘curing’ plants of these viruses and thereby facilitating research comparisons with infected plants. 📷courtesy of @jpc1005

#ICPP2023 highlight: Thank you for your fantastic - simplistic (accessible to a non mathematically inclined individual, myself) although by no means simple work @ElinFalla “don’t worry about the math too much…” The animations were worth it 😉 @icpp2023

Go to the entire session on Thursday at #ICPP2023. Elin and several other excellent speakers dealing with modeling and prediction. Wish I could be there.
Elin Falla@ElinFalla23 Aug 2023
My final presentation of conference season approaches! Tomorrow (Thurs) I'll be talking about my work at #ICPP2023 in the "Modelling and analysis to better understand and predict epidemics" session at 8:30 - come along! My talk nicely follows up @nikcunniffe's great talk on Tues.
