Axis 1: Eco-epidemiology and control of NTDs-TRYP and their vectors in a context of plural transitions
The impact of global change on epidemiology
Last update: 23 October 2019
An analysis of the significance of global change (particularly demographic and climatic), of its observed and projected impacts on vectors and diseases caused by Trypanosomatids, is carried out and updated. Global change includes climate change, demographic changes (increase in human population, change in practices), movement of people, animals, goods on a local or global scale, which are likely to modify parasite*vector*host contacts and lead to a decrease or increase in incidence, or even the emergence of new outbreaks. Surveillance for rare human cases due to trypanosomes normally infecting animals (so-called "atypical") is carried out.
