    Oral presentation

    In case of a notifiable animal disease like paratuberculosis or salmonellosis, the manure is contaminated and a cause for spread of infections. Before it can be safely used as fertilizer it must be disinfected. This can be performed using heat measures, chemical disinfectants or long-term storage. All these measures entail economic, ecological and logistical problems. The aim of project was to...

    Oral presentation

    Food systems are central interfaces of human, animal and environmental health. They shape nutrition, food security, animal welfare, biodiversity, climate impacts and supply-chain resilience. Yet operationalising One Health in regional food systems remains difficult, as indicators, cross-stage relations and data gaps are often unclear. This work develops a conceptual, data-oriented, and...

    Some wildlife species in SE Asia have partly adapted to human-modified agricultural landscapes, including southern pig-tailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) which regularly forage in oil palm plantations. Our previous research suggests that their plantation use is associated with adverse health effects, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Because the gastrointestinal tract is a key...

    Snakebites are a neglected public health challenge in Uganda. Adverse outcomes of snakebites include paralysis, disfigurement, limb amputation and death. Uganda’s Neglected Tropical Diseases Master Plan, 2023-2027, aligns with WHO’s target to reduce snakebite mortality and disability by 50% by 2030. We described trends and distribution of snakebite cases in Uganda from 2020–2024 to inform...

    Oral presentation

    Habitat degradation is a key driver of zoonotic disease emergence. In Colombia, deforestation along the Amazonian agricultural frontier is transforming ecosystems and potentially increasing pathogen spillover risk. Bats are important reservoirs of viruses with zoonotic potential, while also providing key ecosystem services. Within the Volkswagen Foundation-funded SIMPEL project, which...
