• Aging and Adaptation in Infectious Diseases II/Session I: Immune System: Architecture and Dynamics#Allometric Scalings and Immune Dynamics  + (A key lesson from allometric scaling persp … A key lesson from allometric scaling perspectives has been that a variety of physiological processes and timescales systematically change with body size. These have important implications for interpreting a variety of ecological processes and for normalizing physiology across diverse organisms. Applying these concepts to infectious disease may, on the practical side, make it possible to scale interventions between organisms of very different size, and on scientific side, help us to systematize the ecology and evolution of hosts and parasites. In this talk we will discuss: 1) how various immune dynamics can be systematically scaled with body size and what implications this may have for organism physiology, 2) the time-scales of infection across diverse organisms, 3) the consequences of infection on lifetime reproduction across organisms of different size and across different broad taxonomic groups, and 4) the efficacy of vaccines and the timescales of immunity.f vaccines and the timescales of immunity.)
