DESCRIPTION:Boyd Orr Centre for Population and Ecosystem Health\, Institut
 e of Biodiversity\, Animal Health and Comparative Medicine\, University of
  Glasgow\, Glasgow G12 8QQ\, UK\n\nWe are increasingly aware that an under
 standing of the interactions and independencies between humans\, animals a
 nd the environment is important for tackling many of the diseases that thr
 eaten human health\, food security and livelihoods.  The complexity and sc
 ale of these interactions presents a considerable challenge that demands e
 ffective integration of approaches from the disciplines of medicine\, vete
 rinary medicine\, ecology\, social sciences\, and economics\, as well as a
 n effective interface between research and policy uptake. \n\nDrawing on r
 esearch from Tanzania\, the presentation will discuss how disease transmis
 sion between host populations not only has direct implications for human a
 nd animal health\, but also widespread ecological\, social and economic co
 nsequences.  Examples will include studies of transboundary livestock dise
 ases (such as foot-and-mouth disease)\, diseases that threaten local livel
 ihoods and create land-use conflict (such as malignant catarrhal fever)\, 
 and zoonotic diseases impacting directly on human and wildlife health (suc
 h as rabies).  The presentation will discuss how research has informed the
  design of strategies for disease control and land-use management in order
  to optimise ecosystem health outcomes.\n
