Doctor of Philosophy [Ph.D] (PhD in Mathematics: In silico modelling of parasite dynamics)
3 years
Full Time
Field of Study:
- One pathogen alone, infectious salmon anaemia, is estimated to have cost the Scottish farming industry £20 million in the 1998/1999 outbreak, and still costs the Norwegian and Canadian industries around US$11 and $14 million respectively per annum.
- Emerging infectious diseases also pose a serious economic risk to freshwater fisheries, with a number of recently detected pathogens causing large scale disease outbreaks in England and fisheries having to close due these pathogens. By utilising our new understanding of piscine social networks, we will develop new hydro-environmental models to simulate the fate and transport of parasites.
- This information is crucial for designing cost-effective control and management mechanisms.
