Engaging Communities in One Health research and Action: Characterization of the Human-Animal Interface for Control of Lassa Fever and Other Wildlife-Origin Zoonoses in Nigeria
CORE Group
Join CORE Group’s second webinar in the One Health Webinar Series examining the drivers of human-wildlife interactions in Nigeria. The webinar will include a presentation by Dr. Sagan Friant, Assistant Professor at Penn State University on her past and current research programs, followed by active discussion among participants regarding community-engagement methodologies and tools to strengthen opportunities for sustained public health impact. Dr. Friant’s research examines the ecological drivers and cultural significance of human-animal interactions to understand the root drivers of emerging infectious diseases. Her current projects focus on salient transmission pathways (e.g. bushmeat hunting) and emerging infectious (e.g. monkeypox and Lassa Fever) in her study region. She endeavors to engage communities in her research to design evidence-based community-driven programs focused on food and global health security and the conservation of wildlife.
