INSTITUTE FOR DEVELOPMENT ECOLOGY CONSERVATION AND COOPERATION

Exploring the Ecological and Economical correlates of Ebola outbreaks in West and Central Africa

Goal: 

This multi-annual project is devoted to analyze the potential correlates of the various outbreaks of the Ebola virus, both in terms of ecology and agroforestry, and in terms of economy. This project is administered by IDECC, and jointly works with scientists from some of the main universities of West Africa. Currently, we have identified some crucial interlinks between ecology and economy that are backing the occurrence of an outbreak of Ebola, and we are preparing a set of scientific papers on this subject. 

Countries:

Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire

Years:

2015-to date

Project director: Luca Luiselli
