| Research Abstract |
Emerging infectious diseases including SARS and avian influenza virus infection triggered the social problems in these years. Sources of these pathogens have been usually unknown, although the involvement of wild animals has been indicated. Furthermore, environmental destruction might be one of the cause of emerging infectious diseases.
In this project, we planned to investigate the current situation of zoonoses and other infectious diseases in Africa where many emerging diseases have appeared almost every year in order to evaluate the environment changes and occurrences of the diseases. Adding with the purpose, we expanded the rabies reaserch from Asia to Africa.
In the first year, we visited Zambia and Egypt to collect samples and to establish research associations. In the second year, we visited Zambia, Egypt, and Malawi to collect samples and to support collaborators in these countries. In the final year, we visited the countries and Tanzania, too. In this project, we revealed the current situation of rabies virus epidemiology in Africa and other potential emerging infectious diseases in Africa.
