Research on endemic diseases (malaria, HAT, HIV-AIDS, Tuberculosis, etc.) and diseases with epidemic potential (arboviruses, hemorrhagic fevers, etc.) is one of the assigned missions. es to OCEAC as the CEMAC health policy executing agency.\u00a0The research is of a strategic, operational, fundamental or experimental type and the\u00a0main lines of research<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0relate to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Epidemiological surveillance of diseases<\/li>
  2. Biological and genetic characterization of vectors and parasites<\/li>
  3. Chemoresistance in the parasite<\/li>
  4. Vector resistance to insecticides<\/li>
  5. Pathogen-vector interactions during biological transmission<\/li>
  6. Vector and parasite control strategies and methods<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    These lines of research are implemented within the framework of joint\u00a0research projects<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0with institutional partners at the local level in CEMAC member countries (control programs or committees, Ministries of Health, Universities , etc.),\ufffd regional (WHO-EIP, PATTEC, NEPAD, ECCAS, etc.) and international (France, United Kingdom, Mali, Burkina Faso, Kenya, European Union, World Bank, EDCTP, etc. ).\u00a0Some ongoing research projects at OCEAC:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Projet Gates<\/u><\/strong> (collaboration OMS) <\/strong>: \u201c Implication of insecticide resistance on malaria vector control\u201d (PI: VCP\/GMP-OMS)<\/li>
    4. Projet Wellcome Trust 096437<\/u><\/strong> (WT grant)<\/strong>: \u201c Investigating patterns of insecticide resistance in Central African populations of Anopheles funestus, a major malaria vector\u201d (PI: Dr Charles Wondji, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene)<\/li>
    5. Projet Wellcome Trust 086423MA<\/u><\/strong> (WT grant)<\/strong>: \u201c Impact of Urbanization on malaria vector population dynamics\u201d (collaboration avec Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      The activities carried out within the framework of these projects are promoted through scientific publications, participation in international congresses and symposiums, the development of strategy tools (epidemiological profiles , entomological, etc.) and the training of professional (civil servants, health workers, etc.) and academic (doctors, masters and PhD) personnel.\u00a0The OCEAC technical platform includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • 02 insectariums including 01 under renovation<\/li>
      • 01 molecular biology laboratory with standard equipment (PCR devices, centrifuges, spectrophotometer, water bath, distiller, electrophoresis tanks, image capture system, hoods, etc.)<\/li>
      • 01 biology laboratory with microscopy and parasite filtration units (MACS system),<\/li>
      • 02 medical entomology laboratories with taxonomy units (morphometry, biometry and cytogenetics), behavioral studies in microcosm and experimental mosquito feeding (system AFP)<\/li>
      • 01 practical work laboratory with a capacity of 20 learners.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
