Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
This talk will explore the relation between land use changes and the spread of zoonotic diseases, taking the example of the Kyasanur Forest Disease (monkey fever) in the Sindhudurg region of the Western Ghats in India. Drawing from focus group discussions and key informant interviews, the talk will also touch upon how socio-economic conditions make some communities more vulnerable to the disease than others. The talk will also highlight the local government’s response to disease management involving environmental actors.
