Story

The Republic of Côte d'Ivoire is a vibrant country in West Africa with rich cultural traditions and diverse ecosystems. Despite its beauty and vitality, the country faces significant challenges in its health system, particularly with regard to infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). These challenges are exacerbated by limited healthcare expenditure, which remains among the lowest in the world. Infectious diseases, the risk of zoonotic transmission (i.e., infectious diseases that can spread from animals to humans) and the high burden of healthcare-associated infections pose serious public health problems and make Côte d'Ivoire a priority country for international health cooperation.

Fabian Leendertz, Director of the Helmholtz Institute for One Health (HIOH) in Greifswald, and his team have been working for more than a decade in the south of the Central African Republic, in the Dzanga Sangha Conservation Areas. As part of a close collaboration with the WWF of the Central African Republic, the HIOH supports the monitoring of the health status of wildlife in these protected areas, with a focus on lowland gorillas. Over the years, activities have been expanded to better characterize the interface between humans, animals and the environment in this extraordinary ecosystem.
