She gained her PhD in 1986 from the University of Reading, UK, on the economics of tr
309ypanosomiasis in West Africa. She has over 30 yearsâ experience of analysing the economics of health programmes in both the medical and veterinary sectors, during which she has worked in over 20 African countries.Her main area of interest has been the tsetse and trypanosomiasis problem in Africa. She has worked on all aspects of this: tsetse control, trypanotolerance and sleeping sickness. She has developed economic and herd models for use in this work as well as for training purposes. Most recently, she has been involved in the development of an innovative methodology for mapping the benefits of tsetse control using figures derived from herd models. She has extensive experience as a trainer, in the fields of project evaluation and appraisal, health economics, livestock development and policy. She has also worked in the areas of rural development, socio-economic surveys, land use issues and widely in francophone countries. In recent years she has advised DFID livestock research programmes on the direction and composition of their research portfolios in Africa, Asia and South America. Her studies of the tsetse and trypanosomiasis problem in livestock and people led to her becoming more involved in assessing the dual burdens imposed on human and animal populations by other zoonotic diseases, such as rabies and tuberculosis, and the economics of controlling them. Under contract to the DFID AHP & WHO, she organised the first international Neglected Zoonoses meeting in September 2005 in Geneva helping to mobilise interest in the subject and writing the report summarising the proceedings. She is a member of Programme Against African Trypanosomiasisâs (PAAT) Programme Advisory Group and has served on WHOâs working groups on the economics of Human African Trypanosomiasis and Rabies.Alex is married with two children. She is fluent in French and German and has used her Spanish on consultancies in South America and as a teacher on postgraduate training courses. She is currently based in Andover, United Kingdom.</li> 310 <li> 311 Full Profile (Members Only) 312 </li> 313 </ul> 314 </div> 315 <div class="clear"></div> 316 <div class="photo-right"> 317 <img id="ICONZ photo" class="alignright" style="border: 0pt none;" src="/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/g_hendrickx_thumb.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="159" border="0"> 318 </div> 319 <h3>Guy Hendrickx</h3> 320 <div> 321 <ul> 322 <li>Role: Scientist</li> 323 <li>Partner Institution: <a href="/partners/partner-20">AVIA-GIS</a> 324 </li> 325 <li>Country: Belgium</li> 326 <li>Email:</li> 327 <li class="truncate_01">About Me: Guy Hendrickx, DVM, Ph.D., was borne in 1960. He graduated as doctor in veterinary medicine in 1985 and has over 20 years of experience in the field of spatial epidemiology, livestock geography and decision support systems. He started is professional carrier with a series of long-term assignments overseas at increasing levels of responsibility first for VVOB in Rwanda and then for FAO in Tanzania, Togo and Burkina Faso where he conducted both research and development activities. His main research activity was the development and implementation of country wide Geographical Information Systems (GIS) applied to integrated vector borne disease control. In 1997 he was laureate of the National Academy of Overseas Sciences (Brussels, Belgium) with a dissertation on this topic . In 1999 he obtained his PhD on the design of a georeferenced decision support methodology towards trypanosomosis management in West Africa. This work included the use of remote sensing to model vector, pathogen and disease, and the use of decision support trees in GIS. Obtained results allowed gaining novel insights on the spatial epidemiology of trypanosomosis and its impact on the integration of livestock and crop-agriculture. As project manager and chief technical advisor he was leading multidisciplinary RTD teams also involved with technology transfer, training and extension work.In 2001, back from Africa, he is managing director of Avia-GIS a consulting company which he founded together with partners. Avia-GIS is specialized in the collection, processing and analysis of spatial information, and the development of space-time information systems with particular reference to animal health and production, agriculture, public health and health-environment.

After a postdoctoral position at STI, where she was also coordinator of a broad interdisciplinary research programme (NCCR North South co-funded by the Swiss Agency of Development and Cooperation on the Swiss National Science Foundation), she was a joint appointment scientist of International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in Kenya and STI. She is now a project leader at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH). During applied research in Chad on improving the health of nomadic pastoralists and their livestock, she has gained experiences (and recognition) on assessing simultaneously zoonotic diseases in both humans and livestock; on the use molecular laboratory tools to fill in knowledge gaps that could not be derived with classical epidemiology; on identification of synergies between public health and veterinary services, and on the provision of social services to mobile pastoral populations. Her research interests include the identification and testing of cost-effective control strategies for zoonoses (namely brucellosis, bovine tuberculosis, anthrax, and Rift Valley Fever), underreporting of zoonoses in people and animals in Africa and assessing appropriate social service provision to and disease transmission patterns in mobile communities of West Africa and South East Asia.

After his studies he worked in rural practice and as post doctoral fellow on trypanosomiasis research at the Swiss Tropical Institute. From 1990 to end of 1993 he led a livestock helminthosis project for the University of Berne at the International Trypanotolerance Centre in The Gambia. From 1994 to 1998 he directed the Centre Suisse de Recherches Scientifiques in Abidjan, Côte dâIvoire. Since 1998 he leads a research group at the Swiss Tropical Institute in Basel on the interface of human and animal health with a focus on health of nomadic people and control of zoonoses in developing countries under the paradigm of âone medicineâ. He holds a PhD in Tropical Animal Production from the Prince Leopold Institute of Tropical Medicine of Antwerp, Belgium. Since 2004 he is Assistant Professor (PD) in Epidemiology and teaches at the University of Basel . He is a diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Public Health (ECVPH) and member of the scientific advisory board of the Prince Leopold Institute of Tropical Medicine of Antwerp, Belgium.Until he came back from Africa, the main areas of research were the epidemiology of intestinal parasites and animal production in the tropics. Upon returning to the STI, and building on the âone medicineâ concept developed by Calvin Schwabe, the research group focused on the health care of pastoral nomads and the eradication of zoonoses in developing countries. The scientific accomplishments of the research group include: Validation of the âone medicine â one healthâ concept by (1) parallel assessment of the health status of animals and humans as well as combined human and animal health vaccination services for pastoral nomads in the Sahel; (2) development of the first mathematical model for animal-human brucellosis transmission, and its application in Mongolia; (3) the first molecular characterisation of tuberculosis in livestock and humans in Chad; (4) demonstration of the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of vaccination campaigns for dogs for the elimination of rabies in African cities.The research group is currently part of the National Centre of Competence in Research North-South (<a href="http://www.nccr-north-south.unibe.ch/">www.nccr-north-south.unibe.ch</a>, financed by the SNSF and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation). Within the NCCR N-S, Jakob Zinsstag is co-leader of health research, to which research institutions throughout Switzerland contribute and which has projects based on four continents. The groupâs projects are located in Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia and the group is networking with research institutes and veterinary authorities in these countries and England, France, Germany, Austria Canada and the USA. 676 </li> 677 <li> 678 Full Profile (Members Only) 679 </li> 680 </ul> 681 </div> 682 <p><a href="/people#top">Back to top</a></p> 683 <hr> 684 <p><a name="Mali" id="Mali"></a></p> 685 <h2>Mali</h2> 686 <p>Dr Abdallah Traoré</p> 687 <div> 688 <ul> 689 <li>

In 1973 he received a PhD from the University of London for his work on the flight physiology of tsetse flies (Glossina spp). The research later rekindled an interest in mathematics and led him to a three-year stint at the Biomathematics Department at UCLA. Thereafter he worked on tsetse for the next 25 years, developing effective, low-cost, ecologically friendly methods of tsetse control. John played an early part in identifying odour attractants, designing new traps, studying fly behaviour and movement and population dynamics.In 1999 John switched careers and began working in Harare as a data analyst on HIV/AIDS research and intervention projects for the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and for Johns Hopkins University. In January 2006 he moved to Stellenbosch, South Africa to take up the position as inaugural Director of SACEMA, the DST/NRF Centre of Excellence in Epidemiological Modelling and Analysis. John works on issues in the field of HIV research and control, but also continues to work on tsetse and trypanosomiasis.John and his wife Beverley have tw

There he investigated the behaviour, ecology and control of tsetse, with side-line work on horse flies and muscoids. Eventually he became the head of the Branch, responsible for research and control. In 1989 he retired from that job, to work in close association with the Branch for ten years, as Research Co-ordinator for the Regional Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Control Programme for Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe.During the last 11 years Glyn has worked for the Natural Resoures Institute, University of Greenwich, the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, and the Southern African Centre for Epidemiological Modelling and Analysis, University of Stellenbosch, mostly on projects with tsetse but also with mosquitoes and dung fauna. He is currently Visiting Professor of Insect Behaviour at Greenwich, and Visiting Research Fellow at Stellenbosch.When not masquerading as an entomologist, Glyn tries to grow orchids and to keep his wife and two daughters happy.</li> 858 </ul> 859 </div> 860 <p><a href="/people#top">Back to top</a></p> 861 <hr> 862 <p><a name="Tanzania" id="Tanzania"></a></p> 863 <h2>Tanzania</h2> 864 <div class="clear"></div> 865 <div class="photo-right"> 866 <img id="ICONZ photo" class="alignright" style="border: 0pt none;" src="/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/r_kazwala_thumb.jpg" alt="" width="123" height="158" border="0"> 867 </div> 868 <h3>Rudovick Kazwala</h3> 869 <div> 870 <ul> 871 <li>Role: Scientist</li> 872 <li>Partner Institution: <a href="/partners/partner-18">Sokoine University of Agriculture</a> 873 </li> 874 <li>Country: Tanzania</li> 875 <li>Email: ;</li> 876 <li> 877 Full Profile (Members Only) 878 </li> 879 </ul> 880 </div> 881 <div class="clear"></div> 882 <div class="photo-right"> 883 <img id="ICONZ photo" class="alignright" style="border: 0pt none;" src="/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/h_ngowi_thumb.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="159" border="0"> 884 </div> 885 <h3>Helena Ngowi</h3> 886 <div> 887 <ul> 888 <li>Role: WP 10 Leader</li> 889 <li>Partner Institution: <a href="/partners/partner-18">Sokoine University of Agriculture</a> 890 </li> 891 <li>Country: Tanzania</li> 892 <li>Email:</li> 893 <li class="truncate_01">About Me: Helena Ngowi (PhD) is currently a Senior Lecturer in Veterinary Public Health at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Sokoine University of Agriculture, Tanzania, teaching both undergraduate and postgraduate students. She has more than 10 years experience researching on parasitic zoonoses, particularly Taenia solium cysticercosis/taeniosis. Her research focus has been mainly on the epidemiology and control of the parasite. She particularly used the PRECEDE-PROCEED model, a social science theoretical framework developed by Green and Kreuter (1999) in the planning, implementation and evaluation of health promotion strategies for reducing porcine cysticercosis incidence in Tanzania. The model was found to be very practical. PRECEDE-PROCEED model emphasizes that success in achieving change is enhanced by active participation of members of the target audience in defining their own high-priority problems and goals and in developing and implementing solutions. In addition, the model urges public health planners to recognise the important role of environmental factors (e.g., media, industry, politics, social inequities) as determinants of health and health behaviour, and hence, the need to involve multiple social sectors for effective control of public health problems. Apart from veterinary medicine and veterinary public health skills acquired, Helena also holds several postgraduate qualifications, which has enabled her to carry out a variety of multidisciplinary research activities. Additional qual
893ifications held include Diploma in: Research Methodology (Copenhagen Denmark), Applied Epidemiology (CDC, Atlanta USA), Relationship between Learning, Action and Participation within Health and Environmental Education (Copenhagen Denmark), and Certificates in: Designing and production of health extension materials (Nairobi Kenya), Principles of Geographical Information System and Basic ArcView Application (Morogoro Tanzania), and Capability Based Planning for Emerging Infectious Diseases (Entebe Uganda). Helena is a member of various institutional, national and international organizations. Currently, she is the secretary of the Cysticercosis Working Group for Eastern and Southern Africa (CWGESA); temporary advisor of the WHOâs disease reference group on zoonoses and marginalized infectious diseases (ZOOM-IN); member of Tanzania Food and Drugs Authorityâs Veterinary Medicines Registration Technical Committee; and secretary of SUAVET CONSULT, a consultant firm at Sokoine University of Agriculture, which provides consultancies for study and action programmes in life sciences.
