  • autorenew Implementation (Status)

This project is adapting this unique vertebrate DNA species identification approach to accelerate forensic sequence evidence pipelines required for the prosecution of wildlife/bushmeat traders and facilitate large-scale surveillance of potential wildlife products. We will also monitor changes in vector blood-feeding patterns before and after wildlife translocations, to identify their potential impacts on disease transmission.
