The Global Atlas of Helminth Infections (GAHI) has recently re-launched its website
thiswormyworld.
In addition to continuing to host valuable
maps and
data on worm distribution, the revised website now also features:
a blog,
news, and a dynamic repository of
resources.
Visitors to thiswormyworld.org will now be able to read about the GAHI team’s activities and first hand experiences in the field through a
new blog, starting with a welcome post from Dr. Simon Brooker, GAHI’s co-founder.
Members of partner organisations will also contribute, making the website a new platform to share ideas and hear what NTD experts have to say.
The news section will disseminate important developments in the larger mapping and deworming communities, andthe resources page now offers a growing number of relevant papers, online resources and publications.
The GAHI team always welcomes others’ input and contributions, so if you’d like to propose a blog post, ask questions, provide feedback or contribute data, please e-mail nina.cromeyer-dieke@lshtm.ac.uk.
