Impact Brief: Technical Consultations for Year 4 Activities Implementation
This brief describes a series of technical consultation events held with stakeholders in Dong Nai province on topics such as strengthening coordination to prevent and control zoonotic diseases, developing and piloting a biosafety certification program for wildlife farms, preventive healthcare for farmed wildlife, and a community-based risk reduction campaign to mitigate zoonotic disease spillover.
Impact Brief: Strengthening Capacity of OH-DReaM Working Groups: Third Round of Bat Guano Sampling
This brief describes a study of bat urine and guano that focused on analyzing and monitoring viral shedding and assessing potential virus transmission risks to human populations (i.e., bat-guano farming and non-bat-guano farming households).
Impact Brief: Infrastructural Intervention for a Biosecure Live Bird Market
This brief summarizes an infrastructural intervention focused on collaborating with national and local stakeholders to develop and implement a holistic, multi-pronged design for a live bird market with improved biosecurity and hygiene measures that reduce the risk of spillover.
This document is the third annual report from STOP Spillover. In Project Year 3, STOP Spillover supported seven USAID priority countries to enhance understanding of the causes of viral emergence from animals to humans and to use this information to reduce risk of zoonotic viral spillover, amplification, and spread.
This brief summarizes a study to better understand Lassa virus spillover risks in high-risk interfaces in rural forest-edge communities in southeastern Sierra Leone and to identify ways to reduce the risk of Lassa virus spillover in the communities.
