The strengthening of the capacity of research

The strengthening of the capacity of research teams in developing countries, a greater involvement of researchers from these developing countries, and a strong multidisciplinary partnership are essential for an efficient and durable control of parasitic diseases – which represent a serious constraint on human development in the tropics.

Scientific expertise

By its wide range of scientific expertise, international and national collaboration, and its leading role in research and control of parasitic diseases in Cameroon, the Centre for Schistosomiasis & Parasitology works to promote Community Health, and is an efficient and reliable partner in in-depth scientific research and parasitic disease control.

Disease Management and schistosomiasis control

The Centre Schisto is particularly involved in the control of schistosomiasis and geohelminthiasis. It contributes to the working out of control strategies, and assists the National Programme for Control of Schistosomiasis and Intestinal Helminthiasis in the implementation of control activities and operational research.
