Purpose/Context
The Caribbean Ecohealth Program (CEHP) invites Carib Community in Dominica (see Figure 1) to learn about this program and to define, if and as appropriate, research and capacity building project, as well as training opportunities related to CEHP’s main themes:
Foodborne, waterborne, zoonotic infectious diseases
Eco-toxicology
The CEHP brings international experts and research and capacity building partnerships, as well as a fully equipped mobile laboratory (see Figure 2), to Dominica in February 2009.
Limited financial resources currently available but will be sought and small programs started.
