Module 4
In this lesson learners are introduced to epidemics and pandemics through an exploration of historical disease events and patterns of disease emergence. Video content from the University of Hong Kong (accessible via Coursera) provides foundational information with emphasis on the diverse array of biological, environmental, and socio-economic factors that create risk of major disease events.
In Lessons 1 & 2, learners were introduced to the concept of connections between climate and disease event risk. In the following case study, learners are asked to extend their analyses of these connections to an evaluation of Rift Valley Fever risk in Uganda.
