Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases (mainly viruses) in Ghana; Insights from the study of selected Ghanaian Bats

Save as calendar entry

Abstract: 

We currently know that close to 70% of all emerging and remerging diseases are zoonotic in origin. In some settings, there are increased risks for the transmission of zoonotic pathogens. Together with our collaborators, we have investigated the burden of some of these zoonotic pathogens (mainly viruses) in selected animals and human populations. We are however yet to fully understand the role the environment plays in all these scenarios and link the transmission of zoonotic viruses isolated from animals to humans.
