 Surveillance, Control and Prevention of Neglected Zoonotic Diseases in Uganda - A case study of Rift Valley Fever (RVF), Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) and Brucellosis at the Human-Animal-Wildlife Interface in Diverse Agricultural systems
REFNo: HS2053ES

Overall objective
To improve understanding and control of RVF, CCHF and Brucellosis using enhanced surveillance systems and a One Health approach at the human-animal-wildlife interface in the cattle corridor of Uganda.

2.2 Specific Objectives
Five specific objectives will contribute to achievement of the overall objective. The first two will explore the natural history of the three infections while the third will explore socio-cultural factors affecting disease epidemiology. The final two specific-objectives relate to developing interventions based on the findings of specific-objectives 1-3.
2.2.1 Natural History of the Infections
1. Investigate the burden of RVF, CCHF and Brucellosis at the human-animal-wildlife interface.
2. Describe dynamics and drivers of spill-over events/epidemics at human-animal-wildlife interfaces in diverse agricultural systems.
2.2.2 Exploring Socio-cultural Factors relating to disease spread
3. Undertake a gender and inequalities analysis of knowledge, attitude, and practices of transmission dynamics of CCHF, RVF and Brucellosis at the human –animal –wildlife interface.
2.2.3 Developing Interventions
4. Design One Health centered models for the Control and Prevention of RVF, CCHF and Brucellosis in Uganda that can be adapted for other zoonoses of global significance.
5. Develop sustainable One Health disease surveillance and reporting system in order to support need for development a One Health policy
