Project

The control of intestinal worms and schistosomiasis in Burundi.

The final aim of this research will be to provide new strategies and tools to detect schistosomiasis in a context in which the estimated current prevalence is below 10%. This project will provide a proof of principle of new possible approaches in alternative to blanket mass drug administration in view of the elimination of schistosomiasis and possibly other worm infections in Burundi.
