Congratulations to doctor Tim Maes for successfully defending his PhD on snail distribution in a warming climate, impacting #schistosomiasis spread. A big thank you to AnnaSofie Stensgaard Boissier Jérôme and lies jacobs for acting as an excellent jury and their enlightening talks

We ask your attention to an overlooked but important parasite of the hippo! Despite its huge size (9cm), nothing much was known until the use of molecular screening of🐌hosts, and careful sampling by rubenschols Hans Carolus (he/him) and i am Aspire🌞

New paper by Maxson Anyolitho who just successfully defended his PhD! A must-read if you are into community empowerment & neglected tropical diseases Many thanks also to Viola Nilah Nyakato Karolien Poels The AfricaMuseum Antwerp_university Great thread by i am Aspire🌞 🙏🏼

A shoutout to all the fantastic women in our team! Without them no public outreach about our #citizenscience and ATRAP project at Scivil So grateful 🙏 #InternationalWomensDay2024 imec in Vlaanderen The AfricaMuseum

Did you know that Trichobilharzia regenti can cause paralysis in murine models? We provide the first record of this neurotropic parasite in the Benelux 🇧🇪🇳🇱🇱🇺 and the clearest link to human infections so far! OA: rdcu.be/dBaXg Tine Huyse The AfricaMuseum KU Leuven

Wrapping up #ECSA2024 on a blast! 🎉 Mercy Gloria ASHEPET and I, on behalf of ATRAP, extend our heartfelt thanks for the engaging discussions and insightful questions during our talks. Stay tuned for more news on revolutionary citizen science in the GS! 🐌 🫂 The AfricaMuseum KU Leuven

Warm aanbevolen, een heel belangrijk onderwerp dat nu bevattelijk wordt voorgesteld in deze tijdelijke tentoonstelling in het The AfricaMuseum

📢In this new paper, we argue that community-based monitoring presents a valuable & sustainable complement to classical programs, especially in remote areas, BUT it also empowers communities & increases disease knowledge! 🙌 congrats Noelia Valderrama B. & Julius Tumusiime !

Last days to apply for this exciting long-term postdoc opportunity in Belgium!

Let's talk parasites! And the sooner the better. What a great way to introduce the young to the fascinating world of parasites, congratulations dear Chelsea L. Wood , can’t wait to read it myself.

Exciting opportunity: professor Helminthology at the Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp in Antwerp, Belgium. topic: pathogen-host-vector interactions and novel biomedical control strategies All information here: itg.be/en/jobs-and-re…

📢we report the first discovery of alien Ameriana snails in Central Africa, and the first molecular data from the African continent. They resemble schistosome snail hosts and can thus confound disease monitoring studies Kapour Germain Cecilia Wangari Wambui rubenschols

Highly recommended, an inspiring place to work with fantastic colleagues!
