<p class=MsoNormal>Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have been a silent member of the list for a long time now,
located in Guyana south America, we are looking at doing some prevalence
studies on Visceral Leishmaniasis, Chagas disease and dengue fever in
Guyana ( or to establish if or to what extent we have them in Guyana, as a part
of a larger institutional strengthening drive for the local national University
( University of Guyana) located in Georgetown Guyana.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We do have an entomologist but with no specific skills as
related to medical entomology, these skills are practically impossible to come
by here. We do however have an entomologist who can be brought on board, but we
need to locate at this time a location where specific entomological skills can
be acquired( in English) in say 6 mo -1 yr, for survey and identification of
vectors of Chagas/Leishmaniasis and dengue. As it is, you will all appreciate
that the information regarding all of these diseases and their vectors in
Guyana is very scant.<o:p></o:p></p>
