Research Opportunity for Master’s Degree Students 2025: Socioeconomic Study on Acaricide Resistance in East Africa

Acaricide resistance in ticks poses a significant threat to livestock productivity and public health in East Africa, particularly in countries such as Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda. This challenge is exacerbated by the effects of climate change. In response, this research project seeks to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to acaricide use, while also exploring the phenotypic and genomic aspects of acaricide resistance in tick populations.
