Processing samples in the field laboratory in Niger.
Schistosomiasis consortium for operational research and evaluation, SCORE
We are working in partnership with SCORE on a 5 year project investigating the effect of different treatment regimes on schistosomiasis, led by the University of Georgia.
The resulting data will present a unique opportunity to compare the effects of different intervention strategies on the disease.
