项目摘要
Identifying the causes of recurrent outbreaks of infectious diseases in the wild is critical to understanding human and ecosystem health. Environmental change may reduce the ability of hosts to evolve resistance or persist within their tolerance limits, thus making pathogens more likely to cause disease and mortality. This project investigates seasonally variable patterns of infection in tropical amphibians and tests the hypotheses that disease patterns are a consequence of changes in the frequency of individuals that have genetically-based resistance to the pathogen, or alternatively, a result of a weakened host condition caused by environmental stress. Frogs lacking genetic determinants may also rely on environmental modulators (e.g., symbiotic bacteria) to alleviate pathogen damage. How and when these immune strategies interact to allow amphibians to persist emergent diseases is unknown. Using declining frog populations in Puerto Rico that exhibit high heterogeneity and seasonality in infection dynamics, the PIs combine population genomics and metagenomics to determine how environmental and host adaptive responses affect the outcome of disease. The topic of amphibian declines, and its implications for environmental health, has reached public awareness; thus this project offers an excellent opportunity to educate non-scientists about genetics, immunity, and disease ecology. Both PIs disseminate their scientific findings to general audiences through media, educational outreach, and NGOs. In addition, the project involves students and researchers from underrepresented minorities, fosters collaborations between USA and Puerto Rican institutions, and increases diversity among students interested in ecology, evolution, and conservation. These results can be used by conservation agencies in species prioritization schemes and captive breeding programs.
确定野外传染病反复暴发的原因对于了解人类和生态系统健康至关重要。环境变化可能会降低宿主进化出耐药性或维持在其耐受限度内的能力,从而使病原体更有可能引起疾病和死亡。该项目调查了热带两栖动物感染的季节性变化模式,并验证了以下假设:疾病模式是具有基于基因的病原体抗性的个体频率变化的结果,或者是环境压力导致宿主状况减弱的结果。缺乏遗传决定因素的青蛙也可能依赖环境调节剂(如共生细菌)来减轻病原体的损害。这些免疫策略如何以及何时相互作用使两栖动物能够抵抗突发疾病尚不清楚。利用波多黎各不断减少的青蛙种群,在感染动态方面表现出高度的异质性和季节性,pi结合种群基因组学和宏基因组学来确定环境和宿主适应性反应如何影响疾病的结果。两栖动物数量减少的话题及其对环境健康的影响已经引起了公众的注意;因此,这个项目提供了一个极好的机会来教育非科学家关于遗传学、免疫和疾病生态学。这两个机构都通过媒体、教育宣传和非政府组织向公众传播他们的科学发现。此外,该项目涉及来自代表性不足的少数民族的学生和研究人员,促进了美国和波多黎各机构之间的合作,并增加了对生态、进化和保护感兴趣的学生的多样性。这些结果可用于保护机构的物种优先排序方案和圈养繁殖计划。
