#WorldMosquitoDay, observed on August 20th, raises #awareness about the importance of #Mosquito control and disease #prevention. By taking simple preventive measures, such as reducing breeding sites and using insect repellents, we can help protect our #health and that of our #communities. For more information and tips on how to combat mosquito-borne diseases, check out our 'Understanding Dengue and Malaria' guide here: https://lnkd.in/giDZQVRG #EndMalaria #DengueControl #mosquito #Dengue #malaria #anopheles #aedesaegypti #prevention

WHY I DO WHAT I DO: Growing up in a region endemic for many vector-borne parasitic diseases, I personally battled some of these diseases, and saw firsthand the devastating effects of parasitic infections — not only on human health but also on livestock, which is a critical source of livelihood for many families. From suffering personally with malaria and other parasitic infections as a child to seeing my father's livestock die from parasitic diseases e.g. animal trypanosomiasis and tick-borne diseases, I have witnessed the devastating effect of these diseases on communities in low-resource settings. This deep-rooted experience inspired me to dedicate my life’s work to the control and elimination of parasitic diseases. As a #parasitologist and #R&D leader, I am passionate about using my unique experiences—both personal and professional—to develop and scale solutions for parasitic diseases. Lately, I have been involved in efforts to #strengthen #health #systems, facilitate #strategic #partnerships and #stakeholder #engagements for sustainable and impactful roll-out of programmatic interventions targeting the control and/or elimination of parasitic diseases.

🩺🥼 Controlling mosquitoes around our homes is crucial in preventing the spread of diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and chikungunya. By eliminating potential breeding sites and using mosquito repellents, we can effectively reduce the risk of mosquito bites and transmission of these harmful illnesses.🦟🏠 #MosquitoControl #PreventDiseases #Health #HealthTips #DrSwapnilGautam

Since 2022, with our partners Médecins du Monde Belgique and ADMR, we have set up an epidemiological surveillance system in the Kabare and Kalehe territories to quickly detect zoonoses. 🔍 Mpox is a viral disease transmitted through close contact with an infected animal or person. It is crucial to detect and monitor this disease early to prevent its further spread.   💪 Our actions are essential in limiting the spread of monkeypox. Thanks to 13 local committees made up of villagers, indigenous people and community (animal) health workers, we have already diagnosed 336 cases of mpox. These well-trained teams ensure that suspected cases are accurately monitored and reported so that they can be dealt with quickly.
