Keeping close tabs on these pathogens is essential to safeguarding human health globally. *** @SmithsonianZoo's Global Health Program and partners, including the Kenyan Government’s Zoonotic Disease Unit, the International Livestock Research Institute, Turkana Basin Institute, the University of Nairobi’s Department of Public and Global Health and the Kenya Medical Research Institute, have been awarded a five-year, $4.98M grant to study emerging animal-borne diseases in Northern Kenya. *** This collaborative, interdisciplinary project seeks to improve understanding of the factors that lead people and animals to contract three high-risk pathogens in the region and use that knowledge to advance Kenya’s capacity to detect, predict and respond to outbreaks. *** 📸 Caravan of camels moving across the edge of the Chalbi Desert in Marsabit County, Kenya.」6月6日 23時24分
