The increase in temperatures and rainfall fosters favorable conditions for pathogen survival, multiplication, and transmission, while detrimentally affecting livestock production. Furthermore, the rise in droughts diminishes freshwater availability, heightening the risk of humans and livestock consuming contaminated water.<br \/>\nThis One Health project aims to gain a deeper understanding of these intricate relationships between climate indicators and the heightened survival of emerging and neglected zoonotic pathogens at unique, shared interfaces among humans, livestock, and wildlife. It also seeks to explore how these dynamics impact human and livestock health and livelihoods. Employing a multidisciplinary approach that encompasses biogeochemical, microbiological, epidemiological, statistical, and sociological methods, this project will supply invaluable evidence to aid in the prevention, preparedness, and response to zoonotic threats while addressing the issue of global warming.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Project kick off<\/strong>: Inception meeting held from 16-19\/10\/2023 at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), Nairobi Kenya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Title: Climate influence on zoonoses at human-livestock-wildlife interfaces in the transboundary region between Kenya and Tanzania (ENHANCE) &nbsp; Funded by DANIDA, Denmark &nbsp; Lead institution: University of Copenhagen (UCPH), [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2938,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2933","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 -
