Study investigates the level of knowledge of young people and adolescents on zoonotic diseases
The EU-funded BIO-CRIME project - with support from the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (Leibniz-IZW) - conducted a scientific investigation on the topic of illegal small animal trade and the associated risk of pathogen transmission.
The study focused on the key areas of illegal small animal trade and the level of knowledge and proper behaviours of young people and adolescents with zoonotic diseases and the One Health concept . One Health is an approach that recognises that human health is closely linked to the health of animals and our shared environment.

Young people and adolescents know too little about pathogens such as Covid-19 – which are reciprocally transmitted from animals
A school-based scientific study in Italy, Austria, Germany, Slovenia, Mauritius and Japan shows that young people know too little about reciprocal disease transmission from animals to humans (zoonoses) and the integrative management of health risks (One Health concept).

BioRescue research project exemplifies challenges posed by global pandemic
Feb 10 2021
The BioRescue research project, a program aiming at saving the northern white rhinoceros from extinction, exemplifies the challenges to overcome when conducting research and conservation in an international consortium in times of a global pandemic.
COVID-19 hampered communication and travels, prevented or delayed crucial procedures, caused losses in revenues, and by that may have lowered the chances of survival of the northern white rhino. The consortium adjusted strategies gained valuable knowledge during these challenging times and continued with its mission.
The effects of the pandemic on the BioRescue project are described in detail in a scientific paper published in the
