IDORI seminar: Emerging zoonoses

A living laboratory to operationalise One Health surveillance of climate-related emerging zoonoses

Prof Scagliarini will be visiting Wits as part of collaboration projects with the EViTOH division of IDORI. This seminar will elaborate how climate change impacts health & climate sensitive infectious diseases that can act as indicators that must be actively monitored. For its peculiar geo-ecological characteristics & its vulnerability to extreme climatic events, the Romagna region of Italy is particularly prone to climate sensitive vector & waterborne zoonoses. This ecological, productive, social, and scientific context makes it an ideal living laboratory in which to implement a one-health approach to bridge gaps in surveillance and guide effective public health responses to emerging climate related health threats.
