CASE STUDY 10
Congolese Case Study
The Congolese case study focuses on the link between land use changes, biodiversity changes and pathogen surveillance. Wildlife groups (e.g. rodents, bats, shrews, pangolins, antelopes), livestock (e.g. pig, goat, dog) and vectors (mosquitoes, ticks, flees or helminths) are responsible of various zoonotic diseases. In the Kisangani region, bushmeat is the principal animal protein of human consumption, and for this reason, we sample mammalian and environment pathogens towards surveillance and predict or prevent future outbreaks.
