Connecting for innovation and equity in global health
Join Alliance member Stanford’s King Center on Global Development for a presentation with Professor of Oceans Giulio De Leo. His talk will cover the progress made in reducing and eliminating schistosomiasis, a disease caused by water-borne parasitic worms. More than 250 million people are currently infected, with 90% of cases in sub-Saharan Africa. His presentation will discuss targeting the environmental reservoir of the disease: the water snail population.
