Dr Shona Wilson - Community Series Lecture

Rachael Burcher

Wood-Legh Room - 6pm
Dr Shona Wilson on Schistosomiasis: a deadly parasitic disease at the interface of human behaviour and the environment

Lucy Cavendish College

Schistosomiasis is a debilitating, sometimes fatal, parasitic worm infection that chronically afflicts some 200 million people in many of the world’s poorest countries. Effective drug treatment is available, but in schistosomiasis endemic areas, reinfection occurs rapidly after treatment, especially in children. Dr Wilson works in collaboration with research groups in Tanzania and Uganda to analyse the relationships between environmental factors and age-dependent immunity and to understand the IgE mediated responses essential to combating the major parasitic and allergy-related health challenges in both the developed and developing world.You are welcome to attend in person or on Zoom at https://zoom.us/j/7577903992?pwd=ZFZwTTlHM3czd2p1cUpINnNxVTRuZz09This talk precedes the Natural Sciences Formal Hall.
