malaria vaccine trials have been disappointing, with low efficacy and poor longevity, particularly in areas with high malaria exposure. Many pathogens (Malaria, Leishmania, Trypanosoma, Mycobacterium tuberculosis

including resistant M. ulcerans strains. These factors have so far received little attention in endemic areas in resource-limited countries. Therefore, the BURURLIRES project aims to analyse the wound microbiome

features of this highly unusual food-borne, tissue-invasive parasitic disease was investigated in two areas of local clustering in rural Africa (The Gambia and the Democratic Republic of The Congo), and Malaysia

countries as well as in Vietnam and Laos. Malaria Efforts to control and eliminate malaria in endemic areas over the past decade have produced promising results, with some countries reaching pre-elimination [...] Cryptosporidiosis Cryptosporidiosis is a common cause of diarrhea in tropical regions, particularly in areas with inadequate sanitation and poor water quality. The disease is caused by the parasite Cryptosporidium [...] by the environmental bacterium Mycobacterium ulcerans. It predominantly affects children in rural areas of tropical countries with a focus on West Africa. The route of transmission is still unclear, but

activities that alter the time spent at home during the dry or rainy season are still unexplored areas. Related key publications
