One Health Movement”

Dr. Séverine Thys

Tuesday January 21 2020

Dr. Thys will discuss the added value of conducting a socio-anthropological study for improving the understanding of the barriers faced to control Neglected Zoonotic Diseases (NZDs). In addition to a practical and reflexive description of the interdisciplinary approach used, she will describe the socio-cultural drivers of the results in three case-studies: Cystic echinococcosis in Morocco;  Taenia solium  Taeniasis/cysticercosis in Zambia; and Rabies in South Africa. The presentation will conclude with a general discussion through a cross-case analysis and general recommendations.
