On the 19th at 2.30pm in Room G , come see Andrea Tonelli Some viruses are more likely to become zoonoses than others, we estimated the host-range of high-risk viruses and mapped their distribution to highlight synergies with biodiversity conservation #ECCB2024Bologna 12/17

On the 19th at 2.30pm in Room G, come see Elena Catucci, PhD presenting "An ecological approach to the assessment of zoonotic risk exposure". Can we map human Exposure to Viral Zoonosis? Going beyond a simply index is possible! #ECCB2024Bologna 13/17

On the 19th at 4.30pm in Room G we start part II of our symposium w Hubert Cheung on "Improving #wildlife trade governance and reducing spillover risk go hand-in-hand". Good governance reduces zoonotic risk from wildlife trade, but what is good governance? #ECCB2024Bologna 14/17

On the 19th at 4.30pm in Room G, our last talk in the symposium by Lara Marcolin "Ecosystem integrity and the risk of emerging zoonotic diseases”. Check out the paper fresh off the press: doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2… #ECCB2024Bologna 15/17
