Projectomschrijving

Malaria and Snail-borne diseases are parasitic diseases that cause significant health and socio-economic impact around the world. They are most prevalent tropical diseases and a leading cause of morbidity. Previous vector-borne disease control approaches shown several limitations. This research will investigate the potential of nature-based solutions to control the vectors. The outcomes will be used to support policy makers.
