Identification of training needs in schistosomiasis research to build capacity for schistosomiasis control in Uganda
Priority areas for schistosomiasis research and training will be utilised to develop a robust, collaborative, multidisciplinary schistosomiasis research training programme, to increase the critical mass of scientists with the competencies required to design, execute and utilise schistosomiasis biology, clinical, laboratory and epidemiology research to advance disease control interventions and minimise/eliminate schistosomiasis-associated morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa.
