I am a veterinary researcher and lecturer at Peleforo Gon Coulibaly University, Korhogo, Ivory Coast, specializing in molecular biology and vector-borne diseases, and animal genetics, with a strong commitment to improving livestock health and productivity in West Africa. I hold a PhD in Molecular Biology, Parasitology, and Biotechnology from the Sokoine University of Agriculture in Tanzania, funded by the Partnership for Skills in Applied Science, Engineering, and Technology (PASET) and the Regional Scholarship and Innovation Fund (RSIF). I have extensive expertise in morphological and molecular characterization of domestic animals, as well as the detection and molecular identification of pathogens causing vector-borne diseases. My research has covered trypanosome diversity and drug resistance, tick identification and infestation control, and the molecular diagnosis of bacterial and parasitic infections using advanced techniques such as PCR and sequencing. I collaborated with national and international research institutions, including the Institut Pierre Richet in Côte d’Ivoire and Worcester Polytechnic Institute in the USA, and I supervised graduate students in molecular diagnostics of hemoparasites and resistant bacterial strains. Currently, I am leading research on the prevalence and molecular characterization of pathogens responsible for tick-borne diseases, alongside strategies for integrating tick control into cattle health programs in Côte d’Ivoire.
