Antimicrobial resistance (also known as AMR) describes the phenomenon that viruses, bacteria and parasites are resistant against drugs used to treat diseases that they cause. Most people associate AMR with [...] with resistant bacteria – which is also called antibiotic resistance, but viruses and parasites can become resistant as well. Why do we have AMR in the first place? The aim of pathogens is to multiply.

Prevalence and risk factors for schistosomiasis among schoolchildren in two settings of Côte d’Ivoire (Publications)
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease affecting more than 250 million people, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa. In Cote d'Ivoire both Schistosoma haematobium (causing urogenital schistosomiasis) and S

Cystic echinococcosis (CE), the parasitic disease caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s.l.), is a global public health problem. In Mongolia, despite wide distribution of human
