We are looking for an enthusiastic Phd-student to join us in Copenhagen Department of Plant & Environmental Sciences to work on fungal genomics. The project is in collaboration with Michael Habig. employment.ku.dk/all-vacancies/…

We pose two questions in lstmed.ac.uk/news-events/bl… - how common is Pseudosuccinea columella in #LakeMalawi and how might it matter for #fascioliasis - we hope this sparks the needed activities to develop answers #Onehealth

On my way home from #nordtick2024 after three days of interesting talks on ticks and tick borne diseases. Nyborg Strand was a perfect setting for networking. Thank you to the organizers for a very nice conference Nanna Skaarup Andersen #ticks #tbd

📢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 !

Congrats to PREPARE4VBD fellow Tiem van der Deure for winning the prize for best Young Investigator talk Danish Society for Parasitology Annual Spring Symposium for his presentation on modelling impacts of #climatechange on #vector #mosquitoes

I had the pleasure of writing a blog post for bugbitten on our recent paper on how climate change affects the distribution of a schistosomiasis host snail.

Please tune in to our Webinar on copromicroscopic diagnosis of Fasciola spp applied to Kubic FLOTAC Microscope organized by our partner Unina Federico II Laura Rinaldi Details: prepare4vbd.eu/events/

Kick-off for our final meeting in PREPARE4VBD in lovely Entebbe, Uganda🇺🇬! Looking forward to a week full of fresh results on vectorborne diseases, tick, snail and mosquito research and stakeholder engagements!

Dr Muruta finds PREPARE4VBD policy briefs to be relevant, applicable,based on new data, and has promised to see most of them through his system.

Now 👉: panel discussion on how to implement findings from PREPARE4VBD on #mosquito #snail and #tick vectors, Rift valley fever outbreak detection, field deployable diagnostic tools, incl. #eDNA, #research into action!🦟🐌🦠🪱🇺🇬

Lively discussion at Stakeholder Day on how to transfer knowledge into practice with the panel Tine Huyse (KU Leuven), Birgitte Vennervald (UCPH), Stacey Miller (representing farming community of South Africa) and Kolisa Nokoyo (Veterinary Services South).

What an incredible Panel discussion session featuring Brigitte, Tine, Stacey and Kolise! Well done panelists for sharing your experiences with VBDs

The Ministry of Health is set to integrate new tools and findings from the Predict and Prepare for Emerging Vector-Borne Diseases (PREPARE4VBD) project into its national disease surveillance systems to strengthen the country’s ability to detect and respond to vector-borne
