IPB & @helmholtzhzi.bsky.social HIOH launch a One Health study in Bayanga on skin infections among communities in close contact with wildlife.
Lab work includes culturomics, detection of resistant strains and full-genome sequencing.
Further AMR and environmental studies are under discussion.

Prostate cancer is a silent emergency in CAR.
Between 2020–2025, IPB tested 4,985 men; 77% showed PSA ≥100 ng/ml — signs of advanced disease.
Limited specialists, no cancer center, strong taboos.
Early screening from age 45 is essential.

#PublicHealth #IPBangui

Recent defenses at the University of Bangui highlighted IPB's academic role. Many candidates had completed their internships within IPB laboratories, basing their work on IPB-generated data on AMR, paediatric infections, dyslipidaemia, dermatology, pathology and drug-resistant tuberculosis.

AMR goes far beyond antibiotics.
It affects bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites — a true One Health challenge.

A workshop in Bangui outlined the foundations of a national AMR surveillance network.
Next step: coordinated action to make it fully operational.

#AMR #OneHealth #CAR #GLASS

A 12-month collaboration between IPB & Belgian partners @itmantwerp.bsky.social, funded by the Gates Foundation, will modernize HAT surveillance using PCR, dry-sheet serology and real-time digital data collection.
Goal: establish a reliable epidemiological picture and strengthen national capacities.

Closing of World AMR Awareness Week in CAR with ministries, WHO, FAO and the French Embassy.
Key outcomes:
📊 Concerning resistance trends
🌍 First One Health multisectoral celebration
🔗 Need for stronger surveillance + GLASS integration
🤝 Renewed political and partner commitment.

Protecting forests means protecting health

IPB joined the official launch of Dzanga-Sangha Protected Areas Day, attended by the President of the Republic.

Prof. Fabian Leendertz (@helmholtzhzi.bsky.social) highlighted the importance of #DzangaSangha as a #OneHealth model, where biodiversity, public health, & advanced research come together.

84% of bacteria tested in our lab are multi-drug resistant.
ESBL explosion (2006→2023): 3.78% → 85.30% in children’s stool samples.
71% of confirmed sepsis cases are in children.
Not a projection — it’s our 2024 data from Bangui
We’re fighting back through research & innovation.
