Biography
Okri Fréjus Hans OHOUKO, Ph.D., is a Junior researcher for the University of Abomey-Calavi at the Research Unit in Applied Microbiology and Pharmacology of natural substance. His laboratory focuses on antimicrobial resistance and alternative therapeutics against human and animal disease by plants valorization. Okri Fréjus Hans OHOUKO works mainly about animal disease, especially African swine fever virus (ASFV). In response to the ASFV pandemic, he has experiment plants extract to cure pigs infected with the ASFV. He won one of the best prize of research result vulgarization of the national contest “My thesis in 180s” in Benin and received a letter of congratulations from his Director of the Life and Earth Sciences Doctoral School. OHOUKO is manly involved in the alternative therapeutics to fight against animal diseases, including ASFV. His goal is to allege farmer from investment losing due to diseases. To achieve this goal, he is focusing his research on médicinal plants molecule characterization, mechanisms of madicinal plants molecules to interact with immunity to microbes, to rationally design drugs for animal diseases. He is well dedicated to research on animal viral diseases, plants efficacy and one health approach.
