This project aims to investigate the conceptual history of disease ecology. During the twentieth century, infectious diseases researchers, many of them Australian, drew on animal ecology and evolutionary theory so our knowledge of how germs and parasites interact with human hosts might become more dynamic and broadly biological. The goal of this transnational historical research is to clarify the connections of animal ecology and evolutionary biology with biomedicine, and show how contemporary understandings of biosecurity and disease preparedness emerged from this conjunction.

本计画旨在探讨疾病生态学的概念史。在20世纪世纪，传染病研究人员，其中许多是澳大利亚人，借鉴了动物生态学和进化理论，因此我们关于细菌和寄生虫如何与人类宿主相互作用的知识可能变得更加动态和广泛的生物学。这项跨国历史研究的目标是澄清动物生态学和进化生物学与生物医学的联系，并展示当代对生物安全和疾病防备的理解是如何从这种结合中产生的。
