Some people suggest that host resistance to leprosy have lead to the rapid decline in leprosy. Additionally, divergent HLA patterns of patients with psoriasis and leprosy have also been observed. So maybe psoriasis-associated genotypes were selected for because they can resist leprosy?

Thanks! I still do need to follow up with some of that project idea. I’ve got some other projects that I need to get off my plate before exploring that. We’ve learned a bunch of related stuff that would be useful for it.

We met last year when you at an amazing seminar at TTU.

I’m EC, and I study the ecology and evolution of viruses. My lab looks at how viruses adapt to their host in changing environments. Our focus is on phage in the lab but broader for computational work. Would very much like to be considered for your seminar series.

Yes, but there’s tons of hits that aren’t very relevant. What I liked about the Web of Science search was that there was far less chaff. But I was concerned that it missed some relevant articles. I had some in mind that I wanted to include but couldn’t find the right search terms to get.

It’s humidifier season here…but that’s most of the year.

Would you please add me? Thanks!
