Gender differences in Leptospira exposure risk, perceptions of disease severity, and high-risk behaviours in Salvador, Brazil: A cross-sectional study Vulnerability to climate hazards and infectious diseases is not gender-neutral, meaning that men, women, and other gender identities experience different risks. Leptospirosis is a zoonotic climate-sen...

Excited to share our new research exploring gender and environmental health in four flood-prone communities in Salvador, Brazil. The study examines exposure pathways to leptospirosis through perceptions of disease and high-risk behaviours, using a sex-disaggregated and causally informed approach.

Gaps and opportunities for data systems and economics to support priority setting for climate-sensitive infectious diseases in sub-Saharan Africa: A rapid scoping review Climate change alters risks associated with climate-sensitive infectious diseases (CSIDs) with pandemic potential. This poses additional threats to already vulnerable populations, further amplified by...

Excited to share our research! The study explores how data systems and economics can improve pandemic preparedness for climate-sensitive infectious diseases. Our review revealed gaps related to data interoperability and gender considerations, posing challenges to effective and equitable responses.

Meet Ellie @elliedelight.bsky.social, a new PhD student in EHG studying how vulnerability to climate-sensitive infectious diseases is characterised across epidemiological studies in relation to flooding. She aims to map zoonotic exposure pathways across demographic groups in Salvador, Brazil.
