Webinar/Workshop:

Developing African research networks and training opportunities for capacity strengthening in Arbovirus surveillance and response

Africa is the ancestral home of several of our most serious arboviral threats, like chikungunya, yellow fever, Zika, West Nile, and more. But how much do we really know of the epidemiology of these diseases in Africa, and how well is the continent equipped to confront the rising tide of dengue and other arboviruses now escalating across the planet.
