Research Activities

I am hosted at the Faculdade de Veterinaria at the Universidade Edouardo Mondlane in Mozambique.

Alexandre Caron is a French researcher working for Cirad, hosted at the Eduardo Mondlane University in Maputo, Mozambique. Trained as a veterinarian and a wildlife ecologist, he has been working on the ecology of pathogen transmission at the wildlife/livestock/human interfaces in southern Africa for the past 17 years using the field of disease ecology, behavioral ecology, epidemiology and community ecology. In more recent years, I have been more and more incline to use sustainability sciences, including participatory and anticipation sciences in order to promote a better coexistence between people and nature in landscape in which protected areas and communal land coexists. As such, I am contributing to the new field of social-ecological system health (SES Health) as an extension of ecosystem health in the framework of the One Health concept. I have recently coordinated the EU ProSuLi project (2018-2022). Currently involved amongst other projects in the EU COHESA project as the P.I. for Cirad and coordinating project’s activities in five southern African countries and contributing to the AFD/FFEM One Health - One Limpopo project coordinated by Peace Park Foundation.
