Developing a robust interdisciplinary-informed WASH framework for the prevention and elimination of the wicked public-health problem of schistosomiasis (WickedSchisto)
REFNo: HS5707ES
I. What are the true health, economic and societal impacts of schistosomiasis?
a) Characterise what quality of life means to individuals living in Schistosoma endemic areas in Cameroon and Uganda, and how this is affected by infections, WASH access, environmental, spatial, social and other determinants.
b) Measure the diverse impact of schistosomiasis on individual’s and household’s quality of life.
c) Quantify the economic costs associated with schistosomiasis to individuals and society.
d) Develop and validate a field-suitable morbidity marker for mapping and monitoring disease resolution.
II. What are the most cost-effective combinations of WASH and MDA interventions?
a) Test the hypothesis that MDA refusal, due to fear of side effects, is linked with latrine access.
b) Characterise relative contributions of existing WASH on reducing reinfection post MDA: risk to self.
c) Quantify environmental force-of-infection and the impact of ‘risk to self’ and ‘risk to

One Health, multiple factors: an interdisciplinary investigation of emerging infectious disease
REFNo: NS924ES
Infectious diseases significantly impact global health, affecting both humans and animals. Zoonotic diseases, which are transmitted between animals and humans, pose particular risks in regions with high human-wildlife interaction. One such region is Uganda, specifically around Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (BINP), where communities live in close proximity to domestic and wild animals.
The objectives of this research are to:
Identify and quantify zoonotic pathogens in fecal samples from various animal species.
Assess pathogen prevalence across different species.
Analyze microbial community structures and antimicrobial resistance genes.
