We are collaborating with colleagues at the University of Glasgow and the Vector and Vector-Borne Diseases Research Institute, Tanzania on our Rift Valley fever virus(opens in a new tab) (opens in a new tab)project. The project aims to understand how peri-urbanisation and crop cultivation may be affecting Rift Valley fever virus transmission
Project objectives:
Generate and validate spatiotemporal predictions of potential vector abundance
Develop mechanistic models of RVFV transmission to identify sources of inter-epizootic transmission and risk to humans
Design and assess integrated control strategies against RVFV epizootics that consider sources of inter-epizootic transmission
