New Grants for Fieldtrips Received !

PhD candidate Albert Eisenbarth receives two scholarship grants from the German Academic Exchange Program DAAD and the University of Tübingen, respectively, to continue his field studies on the epidemiology of filarial parasites in Northern Cameroon. With a total duration of 9 months he is going to study the life cycles of bovine filarial worms,  such as Onchocerca gutturosa, O. armillata and Setaria labiatopapillosa, and to discover more of the yet unknown filarial species in the game fauna roaming in Cameroons National parks.
