Returning from an amazing start of @Starworms_org #STH expulsion study in Chake Chake (Pemba Island). So far we collected more than 500 worms. Yet, more is to come in the coming 2 weeks. Big thanks to team of Public Health Laboratory Ivo de Carneri. @ResearchUGent @UGent_VetMed

Thanks Ian, heartening to think that fluke can be ‘easily overcome’, I’m just not aware of significant protective natural immunity to fluke, at least not in livestock, we’d probably have a vaccine by now otherwise?…

3 facts about #NTDs:
➡️They are caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi & toxins
➡️They are responsible for thousands of preventable deaths every year
➡️They affect the most vulnerable communities, often without access to safe water, safe housing & sanitation

Africa made significant progress against #NTDs in 2022! #WorldNTDDay

#Benin #Uganda & #Rwanda were validated for the elimination of sleeping sickness as a public health problem.

#Malawi & #Togo were validated elimin. of trachoma as a public health problem.

🇪🇹 can do it too!

Among #NTDs , #STH infections affect 1.5 billion people globally. They impair a child's ability to learn & grow, and cause maternal mortality & anemia. With @TFGH CWW works to support global STH programs and urges leaders to be #100percentCommitted to #BeatNTDs this #WorldNTDDay.
