CERoPath  project (ANR 07 BDIV 012) investigates the structures of murine rodent communities, their pathogens  (microparasites) and their macroparasites  (helminths and arthropods) in Cambodia, Lao P.D.R. and Thailand. South-East Asia is characterized by a high biodiversity, threatened by rapid environmental changes under the pressure of the economic development and insertion into the global economy. In South-East Asia, rodents are hosts and vectors of several agents causing diseases in humans (including leptospirosis, scrub typhus, toxoplasmosis, viral hemorrhagic fevers) and in livestock (trypanosomiasis).

Regional training/workshop on May 15-18th 2012:

“Rodent survey: from trapping to pathogen screening ”
