NeuroSolve is a research project aiming at implementing a superior treatment regimen and improved patient pathway for neurocysticercosis in Sub-Saharan Africa
Last week we attended #WOHCπ
We presented a poster on #MPOXPROBE (surveillance along Congo River against #Mpoxvirus), while A. Nyerere (SUA) presented on #NeuroSolve (Taenia solium prevention).
Both projects highlight the power of #OneHealth approach in global health researchπ¬

NeuroSolve hosted a scientific seminar in Zambia on Taenia solium #neurocysticercosis, led by Prof. Hugo Garcia. From epidemiology to treatment, the session highlighted key challenges and the need for better diagnosis & care in endemic regions.
#NeuroSolve#NTDs#EDCTP
New publication from the NeuroSolve (EDCTP-funded) project.
A review in PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases summarises recent advances in diagnosis, treatment, and control of NCC, a major cause of epilepsy worldwide.
This is the second paper involving the project.
Today is World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day.
The #NeuroSolve project is proud to support this day by raising awareness about neurocysticercosis, a disease that is still too often overlooked.
Letβs bring visibility to neglected diseases and the people affected by them. π
π Congrats to Dr. Charles Makasi for his PhD, and to Dr. Vivian Massawe, for her Masterβs in Epidemiology and Biostatistics!
Their achievements in neurocysticercosis research were made possible by the NeuroSolve project in Tanzania. ππ
