Scientific Event

Registration until February 20th

This meeting has developed into a scientific event that is respected beyond the borders of Germany, where both clinicians and non-clinical natural scientists present their results on current malaria research. We are looking forward meeting you at BNITM.

The picture shows a slender green mamba sitting on a branch. The background is grey.

Research Highlight

First scientific study on snakebites in Malawi

Snakebite envenoming is the only non-infectious neglected tropical disease. In many cases, there is a lack of data on both incidence and knowledge of local health care workers. The first study on snakebite envenoming in Malawi fills a gap in this respect. It was recently published in the journal PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases.

The picture shows the world map. Particularly affected areas near the equator are dark red and red, India and North Africa are beige and the USA and large parts of Europe are light green: i.e. not affected.

Neglected tropical diseases at a glance

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recognised 20 infectious diseases and snakebite poisoning as Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). These include diseases caused by worms, protozoa, bacteria or viruses. We have compiled questions and answers for you on our new FAQ page.
