RESEARCHERS from the University of Glasgow have received £95,000 to tackle rabies and foot and mouth disease in Africa.
The funds will be used by the next generation of African scientists to research diseases affecting human and animal health in their own countries.
The money has been awarded as a one-year extension to the Wellcome Trust-funded Afrique One consortium, which includes institutions in more than 15 countries including Glasgow University.
The first case study will investigate the political and economic barriers to treating foot and mouth disease in Tanzania.
The second study will focus on canine rabies in Senegal.
