The project provides international research experiences for 11 young Americans to carry out research at the interface of mathematics and the ecology of infectious and vector borne diseases with a cadre of researchers conducting interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary research at the premier private, nonprofit, research university in Colombia, Universidad de los Andes (UNIANDES). The students? projects will be driven by the study of Chagas in sylvatic communities with focus on learning the complexity of the eco-epidemiological cycle of T. cruzi while appreciating the challenges of eradicating the disease directly from world experts and on the development of models for the study of dengue epidemics in Latin America and how they differ from their counterpart in Southeast Asia. The research will be carried out in collaborations with the Center for the Study of Tropical Parasitology (CIMPAT) and the Vertebrate Evolutionary Biology Lab (EVOLVERT) at The Universidad de los Andes. Professor Juan M. Cordovez, the Director of the Research Group on Mathematical and Computational Biology (Grupo de Investigación en Biología Matemática y Computacional, BIOMAC), within the Departamento de Ingeniería Biomédica, would provide the link between Arizona State University and UNIANDES.Non-Technical Abstract The training of Americans on the use of models in the study of the ecology and transmission dynamics of diseases like Dengue or Chagas is important to the US leadership role in a global economy. Our nation?s model of competitive success counts on the direct personal participation of our citizens in activities such as travel and trade that includes risks and economic opportunities associated. The project provides international research experiences for 11 young Americans to carry out research at the interface of mathematics and the ecology of infectious and vector borne diseases at the Universidad de los Andes (UNIANDES) in Colombia South America. The research will be carried out in collaborations with the Center for the Study of Tropical Parasitology (CIMPAT) and the Vertebrate Evolutionary Biology Lab (EVOLVERT) at the Universidad de los Andes.

该项目为11名美国年轻人提供了国际研究经验，使他们能够在数学和传染病生态学的界面上开展研究，一批研究人员在哥伦比亚首屈一指的私立非营利性研究型大学安第斯大学(Uniandes)进行跨学科和跨学科的研究。学生们呢？这些项目将由对查加斯病的研究推动，重点是了解克氏锥虫生态流行病循环的复杂性，同时认识到直接从世界专家那里根除这种疾病所面临的挑战，以及制定研究拉丁美洲登革热流行模式及其与东南亚登革热流行模式的不同之处。这项研究将与洛斯安第斯大学热带寄生虫学研究中心(CIMPAT)和脊椎动物进化生物学实验室(EVOLVERT)合作进行。Juan M.Cordovez教授是生物工程系数学和计算生物学研究组(Grupo de Investigación en Biología Biologítica y Computalional，Biomac)的主任，他将在亚利桑那州立大学和UNIANDES之间提供联系。非技术性摘要对美国人进行培训，使其在登革热或查加斯等疾病的生态学和传播动力学研究中使用模型，对美国在全球经济中的领导角色非常重要。我们的国家？S的竞争成功模式依赖于我国公民直接亲自参与旅游和贸易等活动，这些活动包括相关的风险和经济机会。该项目为11名美国年轻人提供了国际研究经验，让他们在南美洲哥伦比亚的安第斯大学(Uniandes)开展数学以及传染病和病媒传播疾病生态学方面的研究。这项研究将与洛斯安第斯大学热带寄生虫学研究中心(CIMPAT)和脊椎动物进化生物学实验室(EVOLVERT)合作进行。
