The Centre for Schistosomiasis and Parasitology (CSP) is a leading research institution dedicated to the control and elimination of neglected tropical diseases in Cameroon. Through innovative research, community engagement, and international collaboration, we are working towards a future free from schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis
CSP provides a scientific and educational environment of the utmost standard and conducts innovative research aimed at improving the health of people in endemic areas of the country. By furthering understanding of the epidemiology and transmission of these diseases, and exploring the efficacies of different treatments, the Centre aims to radically improve the current situation in Africa
Although the parasites responsible for these diseases have been studied extensively, the epidemiology of infections and many aspects of their biology remain poorly understood.
Neglected Tropical Diseases are a set of communicable diseases which tend to prevail in tropical and sub-tropical regions with over 21 million Cameroonians at risk. These diseases

Although the parasites responsible for these diseases have been studied extensively, the epidemiology of infections and many aspects of their biology remain poorly understood. The CSP aims to address these knowledge gaps and establish a dynamic framework for high-level research in these areas. The CSP plays a seminal role in research for schistosomiasis and STH in Cameroon, translating its unique expertise into action to improve the health of those who need it most
