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

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.

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

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).

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!🦟🐌🦠🪱🇺🇬

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! https://t.co/jwnBs3ExL5

Please tune in to our Webinar on copromicroscopic diagnosis of Fasciola spp applied to Kubic FLOTAC Microscope organized by our partner @UninaIT @lrinaldi11 Details: https://t.co/PvKgHLkw7e

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.

Congrats to @PREPARE4VBD fellow @tiemvanderdeure for winning the prize for best Young Investigator talk @DParasitology Annual Spring Symposium for his presentation on modelling impacts of #climatechange on #vector #mosquitoes

We pose two questions in https://t.co/cZEii5aMGc - 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 !

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 #ticks #tbd

We are looking for an enthusiastic Phd-student to join us in Copenhagen @KU_PLEN to work on fungal genomics. The project is in collaboration with @MichaelHabig.
