PIIVeC at PAMCA
08 Nov 2021
On 20-22 September 2021 the PAMCA Ghana Chapter hosted the Virtual 7th Pan-Africa Mosquito Control Association annual conference and exhibition. This was the principle event for PIIVeC members to disseminate their research and many oral and poster presentations were given on scientific work achieved by the project. Review the recordings and posters from these presentations below.
Oral Presentations
Recordings of all the oral presentations can be accessed through the links below. The research presented by PIIVeC members were:
