@PEHPLprogram flexes her SciComm skills by writing a piece for @ConversationUS about her work on FMD in Tanzania. Check it out here: theconversation.com/tanzania…
@PEHPLprogram graduate Dr. Ashley Railey @railey_ash has a paper out in Pathogens. She uses game theory to investigate FMD vaccination in endemic areas w/ multiple circulating serotypes. Vaccination provides households w/ lower payoff than not vaccinating bit.ly/36A0d3B
@PEHPLprogram graduate Dr. Ashley Railey @railey_ash has a new paper out in World Development Perspectives @WorldDevJournal She found that a collective approach to diagnostic testing results in a low-fixed cost & investments in preventative livestock health > therapeutic trt
Always nice to see it official...the potential for diagnostics in animal health in East Africa #fmd #pehpl @WSUGlobalHealth @IBAHCM doi.org/10.1016/j.wdp.2019.1…
Congrats @PEHPLprogram graduate Dr. Ashley Railey @ASTMH in starting her new postdoc position!

@PEHPLprogram graduate Dr. @Zoe_A_Campbell examined preferences for Newcastle Disease vaccines in her recent paper below, now out in PLoS One! She found both were thought to be effective, but when the preferred vaccine wasn't available, administrative route was important to users
La Sota vaccine is still being used by smallholder chicken farmers in Tanzania. Even though it isn't thermotolerant, vaccine administered in drinking water is easy to share with other households. journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…
Zoe Campbell worked to identify determinants and barriers of Newcastle Disease Virus vaccination in Tanzanian households. Knowing someone who vaccinated, as well as larger flock size increased the odds of a household previously vaccinating. More here: bit.ly/2RIHXOD

@PEHPLprogram student @herzi38 's recent paper got press release coverage from the @PSUScience this fall.
A new study led by Eberly researcher @BjornstadOttar with grad student @herzi38 provides an updated picture of the prevalence of PPRV — a widespread and often fatal disease that threatens 80% of the world’s sheep and goats — in northern Tanzania 🇹🇿 buff.ly/2NSSqI3
