September 23, 2025. The #CANVeCT scientific core team launched its inaugural consortium workshop at Mbankomo, Cameroon. Participants received a comprehensive overview of the CANVeCT project, which will be implemented as a cluster randomized control trial. The meeting is ongoing.
Our latest study. A research led by Rosine Danale Metitsi Tesongang & all. This pilot study investigated the potential of a low-cost eave screening technique to reduce human exposure to malaria vectors in a forested area of Cameroon.

Douala, Cameroon. From May 8-9, a team from the ICEMR-EMERGENTS project at CRID ( @cam_crid ) launched the practical phase of their study at "Cité des Palmiers" District Hospital. Led by Dr. @ElangaEmmanuel , they trained ten nurses to perform the standard operating procedures.
Today, we welcomed Prof. @TchuemTchuente , a distinguished Professor of Parasitology at the @NgoaEkelle ( UYI). In a thirty-minute briefing, he was informed on CRID's activities, projects, vision, and partners. This was followed by a visit of CRID's Labs and Insectary.
@LSTMnews
📢Superpower Activated!!!
The Institute of Genomics and Global Health (IGH) has successfully sequenced the entire human genome for the first time on Nigerian soil. This was also the first human genome sequence in Africa using @Illumina’s NovaSeq X Plus sequencer.🧬
CRID awarded $5.5m from @gatesfoundation.
The Africa Centre for Vector Genomic (AVecGen) project will be implemented in collaboration with @LSTMnews and @malariagenomics. It aims to support #CRID in building whole genome sequencing and analysis capacity for disease vectors.
Our newly installed Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequencing system is capable of sequencing genomes of large organisms (plants, animals and human). With this, @acegid is able to better understand infectious diseases from other points of view other than that of microbes.
I attended the launch of the NIH-funded ÉMERGENTS ICEMR 5-year Program in Nigeria. This project is a partnership between University of Florida (@DinglasanRhoel ), @cam_crid and @acegid ( @christian_happi ) . ÉMERGENTS aims at boosting malaria control in West/Central Africa.
📢Excited to welcome our collaborators from @UF & @cam_crid for the launch meeting of our new malaria research program: EMERGENTS (Enhancing Malaria Epidemiology Research through Genomics & Translational Systems Biology), part of the ICEMR
