Abstract: Diseases are a fact in nature. Up to twenty years ago in biomathematics the stress has always been focused on researches either in epidemiology, trying to assess the spread of infectious diseases, but with no or scant relation with the underlying demographics, or on population models, e.g. food chains, in which possibly infected and healthy animals were treated alike.
The research effort of the author has shown that instead diseases have an impact on the demographics of interacting populations. Some recent results will be illustrated.

Brief Biography of the Speaker: Ezio Venturino is Professor of Mathematics, Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita’ di Torino, via Carlo Alberto 10, 10123 Torino, Italy. He received the Laurea in Matematica, Universita’ di Torino, Italy in 1997 with honors. M. Sc. in Applied Mathematics, SUNY at Stony Brook, 1981, Ph. D. in Applied Mathematics, SUNY at Stony Brook, 1984. His research interests concern numerical analysis: (quadrature formulae for singular integrals, methods for singular integral equations, lacunary interpolation problems) and mathematical modelling (biological population theory, ecoepidemiolgy and socioeconomic applications). He authored about forty research papers in numerical analysis and hundred in mathematical modelling. Taken part in more than one hundred international conferences, chairing and organizing special sessions. He held positions at: Medical Department of the Brookhaven National Laboratory; University of Iowa; Visiting Researcher, Universities of Adelaide and of Tasmania, Australia; Visiting Associate Professor, University of Leeds, UK; Visiting Researcher, University of Huddersfield, UK; Associate Professor, University of Catania; Associate Professor, Polytechnic of Torino.
