Antimicrobial Resistance

African Animal Trypanosomiasis (AAT) is a disease primarily caused by T. congolense and T. vivax. In the last 50 years, there have only been 2 drugs availible to treat the parasites, and resistance has been growing. Treatment is also often given prophylactically, to provide protection to cattle in AAT endemic areas of Tanzania. I am interested in modelling the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in AAT in Tanzania with the aim to be able to identify key risk factors for AMR emergence.

This work is undertaken as part of the Combatting African Animal Trypanosomiasis (COMBAAT) group.
