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 diseases.

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.

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).
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!
Happy to share PreVBD Danida fellow Lembris Njottos review paper on quantitative modelling for #dengue and #Aedes mosquitoes 🦟 in #Africa, now online @PLOSNTDs Congrats!

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

We pose two questions in lstmed.ac.uk/news-events/blo… - 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

📢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 @NoeliaVaBh & @jtumusiime90 !
New from researchers at @MbararaUST, @africamuseumbe, and @KU_Leuven: Citizens can help to map putative transmission sites for snail-borne diseases 🔎 plos.io/3vIPTIN

For those instances where paired reports are available for more than 40 sites, we consider the agreement in the top 15 locations in terms of abundance.

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 @SkaarupNanna
