Infectious diseases such as SARS and the H1N1 virus seem to be on the rise across the globe. Professor Arne Bomblies' research models hydrology and entomology factors related to malaria transmission. Jon Erickson and Michel Masozera introduce us to the HALI Project in Tanzania and explain the concept of One Health.

Michel Masozera, Hali Doctoral Student of the Gund Institute at the University of Vermont, discusses the problem of disease transmission in Tanzania due to the proximity of humans, livestock and wildlife all sharing the same land.
Arne Bomblies, assistant professor in the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Vermont, discusses how using computer simulations can help predict locations of mosquito populations in Africa and therefore target potential malaria outbreaks.
