Lay perceptions, prejudice and the natural environment in the spread of animal-human and human-human infections
Lead Research Organisation:
Brunel University
Department Name: School of Social Sciences
Abstract
Infection between animals and humans, and infection spread between humans, provides a major challenge to the health of societies across the world. In our work we bring together a variety of scientists and researchers from a range disciplines, alongside some of those most affected by this disease threat (including those running major sporting venues, the transport industry, and petting zoos). This unique team will then work together to produce the groundwork for a major research application on understanding infection spread, and potential aways in which infection risk can be best managed.
Technical Summary
New and evolving infectious diseases pose novel challenges to increasingly mobile populations. This creates a need to understand and model both the biological processes involved but also the social and environmental processes that influence animal-human and human-human interaction and infection threat. We will establish a new multi-disciplinary network of researchers from psychology, economics, epidemiology, biology, mathematical modelling and engineering, alongside government scientists and key end users from the transport industry, a sporting venue, a city farm and a health NGO. We develop this network through a series of bilateral and group meetings / workshops, break-out writing groups , and complement this with expert summary reports and web-based collaborative writing. This will thus prepare us for a larger multi-disciplinary application on the environmental and social ecology of human infectious diseases.

Contributors in the catalyst project allowed us access to data and facilities (e.g. through site visits and significant intellectual input) as well as further networking opportunities to expand our network in preparation for the ESEI application |
| Collaborator Contribution | Expertise on risk assessments of influenza transmissionExpertise on zoonotic disease transmission in the workplaceAccess to pet owners via vet practicesAccess to veterinary practicesExpertise on zoonotic disease transmission in city farms and access to facilities for the projectStakeholder advice on zoonotic threatExpertise on zoonotic disease transmission when walkingExpertise on zoonotic disease transmission on farmsAdvises on current data and future changes in farming practice and land useVeterinarian expertiseContribute to analysis of risk environmentsEvaluation of hygiene interventionsExpertise on virology and emerging epidemicsUnderstanding behavioural responses to epidemicsGreater understanding of contact patterns and infectionExpertise in quantitative livestock modellingEnvironmental health and engineering expertiseMathematical modelling of epidemicsEconomic modelling of health threatsSpecialism in modelling interactions between socio-economic and ecological systems |
| Impact | The ESEI grant application HAZARD: Human Aspects of Zoonotic and Related Diseases. This was explicitly multidisciplinary involving academic expertise from psychology, environmental microbiology and engineering, livestock epidemiology and economics, veterinary science, medicine and anthropology, alongside a complementary group of policy makers and stakeholders,. |
