We ask your attention to an overlooked but important parasite of the hippo! Despite its huge size (9cm), nothing much was known until the use of molecular screening of🐌hosts, and careful sampling by rubenschols Hans Carolus (he/him) and i am Aspire🌞

The The AfricaMuseum present at the first Belgian Science for Climate Action conference organized by the @climatecentrebe A much-needed initiative to create encounters between scientists, NGOs, policymakers & journalists for exchange & much-needed action @WoodlabG & Laboratory of Biodiversity & Evolutionary Genomics

📢 We are hiring: long-term postdoc position in Belgium on historical epidemiology of vector-borne diseases, including #schistosomiasis and #malaria. Please spread the word! uantwerpen.be/en/jobs/vacanc… Deadline for application: 30/04/2024 The AfricaMuseum UAntwerpen

New paper by Maxson Anyolitho who just successfully defended his PhD! A must-read if you are into community empowerment & neglected tropical diseases Many thanks also to Viola Nilah Nyakato Karolien Poels The AfricaMuseum Antwerp_university Great thread by i am Aspire🌞 🙏🏼

A shoutout to all the fantastic women in our team! Without them no public outreach about our #citizenscience and ATRAP project at Scivil So grateful 🙏 #InternationalWomensDay2024 imec in Vlaanderen The AfricaMuseum

Did you know that Trichobilharzia regenti can cause paralysis in murine models? We provide the first record of this neurotropic parasite in the Benelux 🇧🇪🇳🇱🇱🇺 and the clearest link to human infections so far! OA: rdcu.be/dBaXg Tine Huyse The AfricaMuseum KU Leuven

Wrapping up #ECSA2024 on a blast! 🎉 Mercy Gloria ASHEPET and I, on behalf of ATRAP, extend our heartfelt thanks for the engaging discussions and insightful questions during our talks. Stay tuned for more news on revolutionary citizen science in the GS! 🐌 🫂 The AfricaMuseum KU Leuven

Warm aanbevolen, een heel belangrijk onderwerp dat nu bevattelijk wordt voorgesteld in deze tijdelijke tentoonstelling in het The AfricaMuseum

📢In this new paper, we argue that community-based monitoring presents a valuable & sustainable complement to classical programs, especially in remote areas, BUT it also empowers communities & increases disease knowledge! 🙌 congrats Noelia Valderrama B. & Julius Tumusiime !

Last days to apply for this exciting long-term postdoc opportunity in Belgium!

Let's talk parasites! And the sooner the better. What a great way to introduce the young to the fascinating world of parasites, congratulations dear Chelsea L. Wood , can’t wait to read it myself.

Exciting opportunity: professor Helminthology at the Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp in Antwerp, Belgium. topic: pathogen-host-vector interactions and novel biomedical control strategies All information here: itg.be/en/jobs-and-re…

📢we report the first discovery of alien Ameriana snails in Central Africa, and the first molecular data from the African continent. They resemble schistosome snail hosts and can thus confound disease monitoring studies Kapour Germain Cecilia Wangari Wambui rubenschols

Highly recommended, an inspiring place to work with fantastic colleagues!

modelling based on novel experimental data predicts climate change will fuel snail spread in Europe & Central Africa, increasing the risk for schistosomiasis transmission: Global Change Biology at: doi.org/10.1111/gcb.17…. With Tim Maes Tiem van der Deure AnnaSofie Stensgaard The AfricaMuseum

How can the EU help your local #citizenscience project? At our Networking Day, we look at European Citizen Science, European Citizen Science Association & other opportunities with @LuizaMitrache (The AfricaMuseum), Floor Keersmaekers (VUB), @L_Gijsel (Eos Wetenschap vzw) & Annelies Duerinckx scivil.be/en/event/citiz…

Ik vond net deze fantastische radio-app.. Zeker eens bekijken! Radio Belgium radiobelgium.be

Félicitations Chantal Mokoko qui soutient sa thèse aujourd'hui! 👏👏 Ses recommandations - valoriser des modes de communication du type sapiential (proverbes, contes) - intégrer des détenteurs des savoirs endogènes - implementer des alternatives infrastructurelles durables

Excited to start the new phase of ATRAP, where we will develop environmental DNA tools to detect disease transmission directly in the field, together with Université de Kinshasa-UNIKIN Cecilia Wangari Wambui and Hugo Gante 🐟🐡🦈🧬 from KU Leuven and The AfricaMuseum

It was a great presentation by Chantal Mokoko who also obtained High Distinction for her msc thesis defended only a few days before this conference!
