Project Description
The research will develop and apply new analytical frameworks to identify the drivers of disease transmission in ecological communities, with the goal of identifying the factors that lead some individuals to be conduits of infectious disease into the human population. Research will take place in Madagascar, where multiple zoonotic diseases continue to impact human health. The novel approaches developed in this research will be applicable to a broad range of settings worldwide.
