Jillian Pape is a second year MPH student in the Global Health and Environment program at UC Berkeley’s school of Public Health, studying climate change and zoonotic infectious disease, advised by Dr. Jay Graham. Jillian seeks to address the relationship between humans, animals and the environment through traditional One Health methodology, and is passionate about studying zoonotic infectious disease through the relationship that communities have with their pets and farm animals. Jillian is thrilled to spend this summer in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, where she will study the effects of climate change and Covid-19 on the rabies virus, and the interaction between wildlife and domestic animals on the perimeter of the Addo-toFish Biodiversity Corridor.
