OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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.
