Agree with Fig. 1 and 2, but reducing livestock production won’t stop deforestation, especially coming from a LMIC whose main produce and exports are fruits and vegetables for human consumption. A plant-based diet won’t change pathogen emergence

[Marion Koopmans, publications: https://pure.eur.nl @MarionKoopmans]

A must read for anyone interested in drivers for disease emergence. I particularly like this graphic, showing that transition areas (ecotones) are associated with increased disease emergence risk. https://t.co/jKkeIDVS8H

[Esther Kanduma @estherkanduma]

A great conference awaits all of us in #VetPara. 4 days left to submit abstracts to @WAAVP2023. If you are #womaninscience in LMIC, the Equity in Parasitology #EQUIP scholarship can support your attendance. Apply @herminthology https://t.co/qk8bR9xTmG. Be there to network & learn
