Distribution and ecology of cutaneous leishmania in southern Ethiopia: a basis for disease management
FinishedThis PhD-study attempts to unravel the complex, poorly investigated eco-epidemiology of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) in southern Ethiopia. Using an ecological niche modelling approach, based on medical reports, combined with field work and molecular analyses, we want to identify the potential distribution of the infection (currently but also under changing environmental conditions) and investigate the diversity and epidemiological importance of possible reservoirs and vectors. The obtained insights will allow contributing to the design of sustainable disease management strategies.
