Frontiers | A cross-sectional study reveals complex associations between gastrointestinal parasite composition and faecal immune and inflammatory biomarkers in wildlife and livestock in Kenya

BackgroundIn landscapes where wildlife and livestock co-graze, hosts are often poly-parasitised with diverse nematode and protozoan communities. The relation...

One output from my recent postdoc focused on research impact and communication 🧪🌍🪱 We developed an animated short raising awareness of anthelmintic resistance within Shared Landscapes in East Africa 🐄🐏🦒🐘 @susanneshultz.bsky.social @andrewhalls.bsky.social www.youtube.com/shorts/9at0N...

Anthelmintic resistance awareness campaign

Anthelmintics are the primary defence against gastrointestinal helminth infections, and drug resistance has become a global issue. This animation was created to raise awareness in pastoralist communit...
