🇷🇺🇺🇬 The first joint scientific expedition to study pathogens of infectious diseases, their carriers and vectors on the territory of the country took place in the Republic of Uganda.

Rospotrebnadzor specialists participated in the research: zoologists, entomologists, chemists, laboratory diagnostics specialists, and their colleagues from the Ministry of Health of Uganda.

🔎 Russian and Ugandan scientists collected and studied samples of biological material (mosquitoes, ticks, small mammals), determined the number of carriers of dangerous pathogens, and tested the activity of new mosquito and rodent control products created specifically for African countries.

A unique mobile laboratory complex developed by Rospotrebnadzor and donated to the Republic of Uganda was used for the research.

Russian and Ugandan specialists exchanged experiences and received new information about natural focal infections in Uganda.

🗓 Next year, it is planned to continue cooperation in this direction.
