Overall Objective
The primary objective of this project is to explore the co-occurrence of human, livestock and plant pests and diseases in space and time, and to assess the individual affects of each of these disease categories, along with their combined or cumulative impact on food security and rural livelihoods, with a view to generating policy-relevant information.
