Two new Microscopes received from Switzerland
We are happy to announce the arrival of two Wild M5a Dissecting Microscopes for our fieldwork in Cameroon. One of the microscopes will be used in The University of Bamenda. We would like to thank Mr. Arnauld Buecherlen for his contribution to our project. We also received a translucent light table from a private Swiss company called Mikroskop Technik Dietheim GmbH. We would like to thank both for their support of our work.

Babette Abanda, a graduate student from the University of Ngaoundere, Cameroon, has arrived in Germany to learn molecular-genetic techniques at the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Tübingen. There, in the laboratory of Dr. Wolfgang Hoffmann, she is analying genetic data from the project’s own cattle herd which is naturally infected with different parasites, like filariae, intestinal helminths and trypanosomes. Her two-month long research stay is funded by a travel grant from the Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation.
