title: A new Division of Ecoimmunology and Disease Ecology.
abstract: The Division of Ecoimmunology and Disease Ecology (hereafter, DEDE) was founded in January 2014, and its bylaws approved in May of that year, to encourage the growth of research addressing the mechanistic aspects of host-parasite interactions. The purpose of DEDE is to facilitate communication, research, and data-sharing among scientists and promote mentoring and training of students and early career investigators, excellence of research, and the fundamentals of societal business. Here, we review briefly the history of the field, and the history of the discipline with SICB.
