A Symposium, Nobel Meets Darwin at Alfred Nobel’s home in Sweden was organized and chaired by two leading researchers on sexually transmitted diseases, Dan Danielsson MD, PhD, from Emory University, and   André J Nahmias, MD, MA, MPH, from Örebro University in Sweden.  Papers from the meeting are available open access in a special issue of the New York Academy of Sciences.

For the introduction, see:  Nahmias A, Danielsson D. Introduction to The Evolution of Infectious Agents in Relation to Sex. Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences.1230(1):xiii-xix.

For an overview article based on the keynote address, see: Nesse RM, Foxman B. Evolutionary approaches to sexually transmitted infections.  Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences.1230(1):1-3.
