Madagascar is a biodiversity hotspot, whose unique environment is undergoing major changes due to climate change, population growth, market integration and human-driven land use changes. These environmental transitions increase direct and indirect risks to infectious and non-communicable diseases. Working with rural communities surrounding the Marojejy National Park, our research explores these complex global health links.
Land Use Change, Transmission Potential Networks and Disease Spread in Madagascar
This project investigates anthropogenic land use and its impact on infectious disease transmission among humans and animals
Impact of Climate Change on Transmission Potential Networks and Disease Spread in Madagascar
This project investigates perceptions of climate change among smallholder farmers and their climate adaptation practices.
Market Integration, Land Use, and Pathogen Transmission in Rural Madagascar
This project investigates connections that exist among rural communities and their consequences for infectious disease transmission.
These are multiple projects that focus on various diseases in rural Madagascar
