Project

Integrated risk mapping and targetted snail control to support schistosomiasis elimination in Brazil and Cote d'Ivoire under future climate change

Funded by Natural Environment Research Council.

Collaboration with Stanford University and University of St Andrews.

Project to investigate the effect of increasing temperatures, temperature variability and shift in precipitation patterns due to climate change on the dynamics of snail borne schistosomiasis. Collaborating with Standford who are project leads, university of california, Stony Brook University, University of Washington, st Andrews, Cote d'Ivoire and Brazil.
