Thank you for leading a great one health study! Besides the high prevalence of intestinal parasites, this is the first time we detected Ancylostoma ceylanicum in Colombia, a hookworm that impacts both animals and humans. BCM_TropMed

Students in our BCM_TropMed summer research internship program presented their projects today. My lab worked with Pravi an undergrad student Baylor University who investigated the mechanisms of Trichuris hatching! She found that E. coli co-culture aids in Trichurs hatching!
