DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sandro Meloni\, University of Zaragoza\nInteractions among
  multiple infectious agents are increasingly recognized as a fundamental i
 ssue in the understanding of key questions in public health as they are at
  the basis of pathogens emergence and evolution. In this talk I will focus
  on a central ingredient within this context that is hosts’ space struct
 ure and mobility. Using theoretical models merging metapopulation schemes 
 with network theory approaches I will show how this component shape the co
 mpetition and coexistence of multiple pathogens in the same environment. I
  will describe recent results on the dominance/co-dominance between two in
 teracting strains\, and on the persistence of a rapidly mutating pathogen.
  These results highlight general mechanisms at the basis of spatial ecolog
 y of pathogens.
