We have joined forces with 13 African countries and an international network of research institutions to launch #ANTICOV, a clinical trial that aims to identify treatments that can be used to treat mild cases of #COVID19 in Africa. bit.ly/35XRSJr

“ITM has been working closely with its partners in Ethiopia for many years now,” said Prof Van Griensven. “Together we are able to investigate whether #Covid19 patients with mild symptoms who receive early treatment experience less serious complications.” theguardian.com/global-develop…

We are looking for a clinical immunology postdoc for projects on cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis For more info check itg.be/E/Vacancy/2020… Feel free to share!

We have a new department head in clinical sciences Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp All the best Johan Van Griensven, you will do a fantastic job!

ITM confirms first #monkeypox infection in Belgium. “As scientists and doctors, we are vigilant and we are closely monitoring the progress of the disease," says ITM infectiologist Isabel Brosius. itg.be/E/Article/inst…

One of three Belgian monkeypox cases presenting at ITM now sequenced by our Outbreak Research Team at ITM. Sequence is W African and close to Portgugal cases - patient had travel to PT. lnkd.in/egxpr596

"We hebben meer kennis nodig over exotische #virussen. Door globalisering en klimaatverandering volstaat het niet als we ons alleen in Europa beter voorbereiden op #pandemieën." Opiniestuk met o.a. ITG's Emmanuel Bottieau, Isabel Brosius, @LaurensLiesenb1. standaard.be/cnt/dmf2022052…

Our new article by Fiocruz Pernambuco + ⁦⁦UFPE⁩ with ⁦NTDs @ ITM clinical sciences⁩: Comparison of serum cytokine levels in symptomatic and asymptomatic HIV-Leishmania coinfected individuals from a Brazilian visceral leishmaniasis endemic area | PLoS NTD journals.plos.org/plosntds/artic…

Congrats to our Ethiopian partner for getting research into policy! Based on studies by University of Gondar, MSF Science, Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative & Indian partners, World Health Organization (WHO) has published new treatment recommendations for visceral #leishmaniasis in patients who are coinfected with #HIV. 1/2 bit.ly/3Or5Ffo

"The efficacy of the new combined regimen increased to 88% from the 55% of the current standard treatment. That is an enormous improvement,” says Dr Ermias Diro, ITM alumnus and principal investigator of the study in Ethiopia. #beatntds 2/2

Congratulations to ITM team for this important paper helping understand monkeypox transmission! Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp lnkd.in/eRGUSECa

Ethiopia has the third highest burden of neglected #tropicaldiseases in #Africa. ITM, World Health Organization (WHO)-TDR & University of Gondar have successfully been strengthening research capacities through trainings to enable improvements in #NTD interventions. #beatNTDs itg.be/E/Article/dont…

In light of World NTD Day, alumnus Wendemagegn Enbiale Yeshaneh will share his findings on the integrated control of skin NTDs in Ethiopia. Join us on 30 January at 13 PM CET shorturl.at/JS079

Proud of our Ochollo project team at the recent dissemination meeting. We studied efficacy and impact of community treatment for CL with Arba Minch University. Community leaders, traditional healers, HEW, academics, and regional/zonal health bureau officials discussed the way forward.

Which #visceralleishmaniasis patients are at risk of poor outcomes? A big clinical study in Ethiopia was started with University of Gondar #LRTC & Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp with the aim to develop a prognostic score to predict poor treatment outcomes #beatNTDs

We are delighted to share that the nodulectomy, intralesional SSG, and cryotherapy with cotton tipped applicator interventions can easily be taken to the doorsteps of people with #podoconiosis and uncomplicated cutaneous leishmaniasis. #LNOB #inspireSkinconf #ZefineHC #DorzeHC.

proud to see the first publication from the PreLeish cohort out!
