This consortium of researchers from 21 institutions in Africa, Europe and America undertook a major research programme exploring the connections between disease and environment in Africa.
It embraced an integrated, multidisciplinary – or One Health– approach to generate evidence and advance understandings of the complex relationships between zoonotic (animal-to-human) disease transmission, ecosystems and wellbeing with the objective of informing effective poverty and public health interventions. The Consortium worked in Ghana, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Zambia and Zimbabwe, and focused on henipavirus infection, Rift Valley fever, Lassa fever and trypanosomiasis respectively.
