How can we better understand and prevent the development of antimicrobial and anthelmintic resistance? How can we develop better diagnostic tests to encourage more judicious use of antimicrobials and anthelmintics?

  Funded by: MRC

  Why might this be relevant?

  The project focuses on developing a harmonized evaluation framework for integrated surveillance of AMR, which can contribute to understanding and preventing the development of antimicrobial and anthelmintic resistance.

  Why might this be relevant?

  The project addresses the environmental dimension of antimicrobial resistance, which is relevant to understanding and preventing the development of antimicrobial and anthelmintic resistance, but does not directly address the development of better diagnostic tests.
