• Subject Area: Virology ; Animal Breeding, Animal Nutrition, Animal Husbandry
• Term: since 2018
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 328966760

The presence of a great variety of infectious pathogens may be responsible for high levels of uncertainties in shaping the future. This calls for more detailed analyses of risks and perceptions of arboviral diseases by different communities in KAZA and KRV, key among them pastoralists, using a holistic One Health approach. B02 will investigate in greater detail how land-use changes will affect the prevalence and impact of vector-borne diseases in the KAZA and KRV regions of Africa.
