CASE STUDY 8

Tanzanian Case Study 

The Tanzanian case study focuses on restoration of tropical rain forest including creation of forest corridors between native old-growth forest patches and natural regeneration at forest edges. The case study applies a control-impact approach and studies priority diseases including plague, leptospirosis as well as the vector-borne diseases bartonellosis and rickectiosis. Community involvement is strong, and the case study has a public health dimension by also considering restoration-related exposure of humans via fire collection, hunting, and recreation.
