Although ecology and epidemiology are treated as independent scientific areas, surprisingly there exist significant commonalities between these two systems. Infection on prey or predator or both the population acts as a biological control for the persistence of the ecological species. Recently this observation has attracted considerable scientific attention and demands more attention both from theoretical and experimental points of view. Analyzing and predicting such nonlinear complex dynamics may give some insight to the real life problems and will be helpful to the system managers for adopting proper control strategy and proper programme implementation. This session will include the applications of systems of ordinary, partial, delay, and stochastic differential equations related to real life eco-epidemiological systems.
