5. Current project: "Zoonotic disease risk Analysis in bats in West Asia", which conducts a comprehensive disciplinary study to identify the main risk factors for zoonotic disease in bats in West Asia. And modeling the risks of emerging diseases based on the relationship between the virus and its host, as well as geographical and environmental data. The West Asian Bat Research Network (WAB-NET) and the project will cover four major countries: Georgia, Jordan, Turkey and Pakistan, as well as 12 different countries in Western Asia.
Project budget: 185,596.00 USD.

6.
