The Centre for Schistosomiasis and Parasitology (CSP) plays a leading role in research and implementation of control strategies for 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. 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
The Centre for Schistosomiasis & Parasitology is headed by Professor Louis-Albert TCHUEM TCHUENTÉ, who set up the centre in 1999 with a view to putting in place an adequate framework and a dynamic team for high-level research
We are committed to advancing the control and elimination of schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis in Cameroon through cutting-edge research, evidence-based interventions, and collaborative partnerships
