“Biological sagacity of pathogens: the biggest challenge to human intelligence” "The single biggest threat to man's dominance on the planet is the virus”. Joshua Lederberg, Nobel Prize 1958 Esther Orozco University of Mexico City
Enviromental changes lead to biological modifications in living organisms Adaptative Capacities lies on • Mutations • New DNA acquisition • Epigenetic Events • Phenotypic Changes Evolution
Ancestral human migrations 73 -56 YBP 12 -15 YBP 51 -39 YBP 170 -130 YBP • • 70 -65 YBP Capacity to adapt is a conservative element and necessary for evolution Migration and adaptive capacities have been fundamental characteristics of human beings since it’s origins in Africa about 130 thousand years before present (YBP).

PNAS 2004; 101: 13826 -13831 Circular genome map of IP 32953 and comparison with Y. pestis CO 92. (A) Genome of IP 32953. (B) Genome of CO 92. (A and B) Circle 1 (from center outward), G+C content; circles 2 and 3, all genes coded by function (forward and reverse strand); circle 4, GC skew (G–C/G+C); circles 5 and 6, genome divided into locally colinear blocks (when IP 32953 and CO 92 are compared with one another); each block is distinguished by a unique color (black segments within colored blocks represent regions specific to that genome in the comparison), and the orientation of each block is indicated by strand; [circle 5, –ve strand; circle 6, +ve strand); circle 7, locations of IS elements (IS 100 is blue, IS 285 is red, IS 1661 is green, and IS 1541 is magenta)]. In A, the gray highlighted region near the 12 o'clock position indicates the proposed IP 32953 inversion (see text), whereas the remainder of the genome denotes the stable “ancestral” arrangement that has prevailed through the present. B illustrates the complexity of the molecular events that gave rise to the inversions or translocations in the Y. pestis genome first proposed (16) solely on the basis of the dramatic shifts in G/C skew (gray highlights serotypes I, II, and III), but now extended through whole-genome comparison. For example, gray highlight II is composed of three distinct blocks, two that are derived from distinct places within the same replichore (origin to terminus half), whereas the third block originated from the other replichore (light blue block). © 2004 by National Academy of Sciences

Conclusions: • Genetics and genomics of pathogens allow them to survive human body defenses and defeat human intelligence üThey evade immune response and drug action ü To win the battle we need: i) advanced knowledge on their biological mechanisms to develop better diagnostic methods, vaccines and new drugs Challenges are opportunities for social and economic development • Through biotechnology, genomics, proteomics, molecular biology, etc. Education, education and education
Who will win this war? We can win many battles but never the war Microorganisms have also won many battles but never the war Mutations New DNA acquisition Epigenetic Events Phenotyipic Changes Evolution Adaptation to Survive
