Collaborations/partnerships

1. The Entomology unit of the Department has been consistently researching and evolving strategies for the control of mosquitoes. The recently have established partnership with the Federal Ministry of Health on the control of malaria vectors in and around Niger State with the Department being recognized as a sentinel centre. Prof. I.K. Olayemi is the Principal Investigator for this research which is funded by Global Fund and is expected to end by the year 2021 with possible extension.

 

1. The Parasitology unit of the Department discovered eleven (11) gene types of Plasmodium falciparum responsible for the transmission of malaria in Minna. Also, the head of this unit, Prof. I.C.J. Omalu has on various occasions within the year served as consultant to SITESAVER, an international body for the control of malaria in some parts of North Western, Nigeria. Also, the Department was involved in the campaign for the eradication of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) with road walks, seminars and public lectures conducted in January 2020 and 2021 respectively.
2. The Department is involved in several research collaborations/Partnership Engagement nationally and internationally, which include among others, University of Mississippi, Mississippi, United States of America on the USAID sponsored programs. There is an existing memorandum of understanding between the University of Mississippi and FUT Minna with DILCA. Also, there is collaboration between Hydrobiology unit and the Institute for Water Research, Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa.
3. The Department is currently collaborating with several environmental companies for example, Environmental Health Solutions and FISAS Ltd in Abuja and YIF in Cameroon in carrying out Environmental Impact Assessment exercises within the country and beyond.
