Also on this #WorldHealthDay2024 our National School of Tropical Medicine BCM_TropMed explores how climate change converges with urbanization, poverty, human and animal migrations to drive new pandemics

Exciting times! Congratulations, Dr. Yifan Wu! #NancyChangSymposium #BCMpostdoc BCM_TropMed

BCM_TropMed Dr. Vladimir Cruz Universidad UADY ashish Liliana Villanueva, PhD Prelim study on using our flotation and filtration DNA extraction with qPCR testing of parasites in vegetables.

Anyone have any lambda red E.coli (e.g. DY380) or know where I can purchase some? Ideally in the DH10B background.

Ready to head out to the Yucatán Peninsula to continue our one health studies on the impact of environmental parasites on animal and human health. BCM_TropMed Dr. Vladimir Cruz Liliana Villanueva, PhD

Follow our adventures!

Today starts the BCM_TropMed 1-week, hands-on laboratory course run by DrKathrynJonesDVMPhD , Theresa Sepulveda and Dr Cameron Brown! Our students are given clinical samples (fixed) and learn to diagnose different pathogens using limited resources. ASTMH ASTMH Clinical Group

2nd field site in Cedral, Argentina. Obligatory research un-shaven selfie.
Many stray dogs and cats seen on the premises. High risk factor for Toxocara contamination.

Ready for my 4th field study to Northern Argentina. We will focus on detection of parasites in environmental samples and how these pathogens impact children.
Follow my adventures! BCM_TropMed
