dc.description.abstractTourism development does not usually address the health and disease prevention needs of local communities. However, changes in climate, socio-economic factors, and ecological contexts contribute to changing risks of infections. From initial findings of a study in South East Asian (SEA) centres regarding the complex dynamics between tourism, development and disease in Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, tourists, especially those associating with animals, are at higher risk for the contact and spread of diseases. The research is part of a larger Eco-health Emerging Infectious Diseases (Eco-EID) program being conducted in the region.en
