Global Challenges in Infectious Diseases: Research on Ebola, Cholera, and Mpox

Research Institute of Nursing Care for People and Community

Professor Muzembo Basilua Andre

We are focusing an Ebola virus disease and cholera, two globally significant infectious diseases while also addressing the emerging concern of Mpox
For Ebola, we have systematically investigated the epidemic situation in Africa and conducted social science research on the various misconceptions and rumors that people in endemic areas have about the disease. For cholera, we are collaborating with India to investigate the causes of outbreaks and evaluate the effectiveness of rapid diagnostic kits. Through these studies, we aim to contribute to the prevention of the spread of infectious diseases.
