This project, funded by CAPES-COFECUB, "new methods in epidemiology and early detection of events" began in January 2011 and finished in December 2013. However the collaboration with the Brazilian collaborators has continued and increased during 2014.

Paes-Uemoa

A research project on Bilharzia was submitted by the universities of Ouagadougou and Gaston Berger of Saint-Louis, in the framework of PAES(projet d'appui à l'enseignement supérieur) of UEMOA (Union Économique et Monétaire de l'Afrique de l'Ouest). MASAIE is an important component of this network. This project has been accepted in 2012 and funded with 30 000 000 CFA (XOF) ( $\approx$ 45 000 euro). This project will finish on January 2015.
