BatOneHealth Research Group Aids in Developing Comprehensive Coursera Course on Disease Spillover

The BatOneHealth research group has helped develop and launch the comprehensive Coursera course "One Health Investigations of Outbreaks and Spillover Events," providing critical education on disease emergence and prevention strategies. This innovative course represents a collaborative effort by leading researchers specializing in bat ecology, infectious disease dynamics, and One Health approaches.

Drawing from extensive field research and laboratory studies on bat-borne pathogens, the BatOneHealth team has created a 11-module curriculum that addresses the complex factors driving disease spillover from wildlife to humans. The course covers investigation methodologies, ecological drivers, environmental factors, and prevention strategies essential for understanding and managing emerging infectious disease threats.

This educational initiative reflects BatOneHealth's commitment to translating cutting-edge research into practical knowledge for public health professionals, veterinarians, ecologists, and policymakers worldwide. The course is now available on Coursera, democratizing access to specialized One Health education and training the next generation of spillover prevention experts.
