Comparing traditional monitoring of Kibale wildlife population abundance and health with molecular based environmental DNA based approaches
REFNo: NS343ES

To test the use of air DNA and fly-derived DNA for describing mammal and parasite communities by using the long-term monitoring efforts across transects in Kibale National Park.
Specifically aim to explore the role of flies in disease ecology in and around groups of primates in Kibale National Park, and their potential role as vectors at the human-wildlife interface, including the exploration of changes in fly density and disease prevalence.
