The planet’s mean air and ocean temperatures have been rising over the last century because of increasing greenhouse gas emissions. These changes have substantial effects on the epidemiology of infectious diseases. We describe direct and indirect processes linking climate change and infectious di...

Capacity building on 'ecohealth' in Southeast Asia - successes and challenges
The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) was created in the early 1990s,
and, like CGIAR crop centres, its major goal was increasing productivity. Animal
health was believed to cause about one-fourth of the yield gaps seen in developing
countries, but almost all research centreed on ...
The Handbook provides a comprehensive statement and reference point for hazard and disaster research, policy making, and practice in an international and multi-disciplinary context. It offers critical reviews and appraisals of current state of the art and future development of conceptual, theoret...

Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a zoonotic vector-borne disease present in much of Africa,
and the Arabic peninsula. During outbreaks, the case fatality is high in young
ruminants and there may be abortion storms, human disease is usually mild but
some may suffer fatal hemorrhagic fever. Outbreaks in ...

Rift Valley fever virus seroprevalence among ruminants and humans in northeast Kenya
Rift Valley Fever (RVF) is an acute mosquito-borne viral zoonosis that causes cyclical epidemics in sub-Saharan Africa, with recent incursions into the Arabian Peninsula. Outbreaks of RVF are associated with above average rainfall and flooding, in which large numbers of vectors emerge. Recent stu...

Mapping of poverty and likely zoonoses hotspots
Pig production is an emerging agribusiness in Eastern Africa but baseline information
on pig diseases including zoonoses is still scarce. Infection with Toxoplasma gondii
does not usually present with clinical signs in pigs, yet it is considered an important
source of human infection when pork co...
