The overall function was coordination of a multi-disciplinary research project on zoonotic diseases in Cambodia supported by the Swedish Civil Contingencies agency for raised zoonotic preparedness. The aim of the Project was to study the interplay between livestock and humans in rural areas of Cambodia, combining interviews and samples from humans and livestock (including cattle, chickens, ducks and pigs) for analysis of zoonotic risk factors, including influenza reassortment and campylobacter transmission along the meat value chain. Detection of expanded-spectrum-beta-lactamases (ESBL) in humans and animals was carried out as a side-project.Key Function:- Project implementation and fieldwork in Cambodia- Collection and analysis of samples including pathogen characterization and sequencing- Data management, statistical modelling and analysis of spatial patterns- Dissemination of results including presentations, reports and scientific publications- Organization and chairing of coordination meetings. PhD studies were carried out within the project. The thesis entitled: 'Zoonoses in rural Cambodia - A One Health perspective on Influenza and Campylobacter" is available on: http://pub.epsilon.slu.se/13377/
