Ian Beveridge Memorial Lecture - Hendra and beyond: The ecology of One Health approaches to bat viral spillover

Join us on Tuesday 26 March 2024 for the Ian Beveridge Memorial Lecture - Hendra and beyond: The ecology of One Health approaches to bat viral spillover presented by Dr Alison Peel.

One Health frameworks that integrate human, animal and environmental health are critical to prevent future viral emergence, yet they often ignore the complexity of wildlife ecology.

Veterinarian and wildlife disease ecologist Dr Alison Peel will explore the dynamics of viral spillovers from bats, focusing on Hendra virus in Australian flying foxes.

She will also discuss how long-term data collection, interdisciplinary collaborations and predictive modelling have enabled identification of predictable drivers of spillover, revealing potential sustainable solutions.

At the end of the talk, there will be a Q&A followed by a cocktail reception.
