Peri-Urban Hotspots – Jeff Fox and Sumeet Saksena
Sumeet Saksena and Jeff Fox joined Jay Fidell to talk about important efforts coming out of the EastWest Center at the University of Hawaii Manoa.
You may know that the mainland has been having unprecedented epidemics of avian flu that has resulted in the death of millions of birds – although it is a strain that is not a danger for transmission to humans. But it does reinforce the need to better understand and control the environmental conditions that promote transmission. Join Sumeet and Jeff as they discuss a study they just released on bird flu outbreaks in Vietnam, which confirms the notion that “peri-urban” areas at the fringes of cities are particular hotspots for outbreaks of animal-to-human infectious disease.
