Future Projects

We will be undertaking continuing prevalence studies of intestinal parasites among primary school children in rural areas of Nicaragua with AMOS and the Nicaraguan Ministry of Health (MINSA) later this year. Data garnered from these studies will be utilized by MINSA to plan their national de-worming campaign. Project members will assist with sample collections in the field, as well as analysis in our mobile Project laboratory.
