Researchers Receive $2.75 mln Grant to Investigate Movement of Amphibian Pathogens in Wildlife Trade Networks

MSU researchers and a multi-institutional team of collaborators, including researchers at the University of Tennessee, Washington State University, University of Massachusetts and Rutgers University will identify how socio-economic decisions and pathogen dynamics impact each other in a wildlife trade network and partnering with industry leaders to support application and implementation of pathogen screening, reporting and networking programs.

The project, “Socioeconomic and Epidemiological Drivers of Pathogen Dynamics in Wildlife Trade Networks,” was funded in 2022 through a $2.75 million grant from the Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases Program, a joint program of the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
