is an acronym for “Pandemics Literacy and Viral Zoonotic Spillover Risk at the Frontline of Disease Emergence in Southeast Asia to Improve Pandemics Preparedness.” It is co-funded by the European Union (EU) and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). The primary objectives of PANDASIA are to gather information on social and biological data, model zoonotic spillover rates, and study disease emergence in high-risk settings in Thailand. This research aims to identify potential pandemics drivers along nature-rural-urban gradients. By better understanding the interactions between the underlying drivers of spillover at local levels, evidence-based strategies for pandemics preparedness and public health measures can be developed and improved. PANDASIA will make use of advances in prediction to determine, analyze, and model the potential for viral pathogen spillover from the perspectives of One Health (OH) and EcoHealth (EH).

Since pandemics arise at a local level, it is crucial to engage with local communities, as well as environmental and agricultural authorities in Thailand, to enhance their health and pandemics literacy. Therefore, PANDASIA will be closely integrated within local Thai communities.
