As part of an ongoing DFG-funded research project, our collaborators in Uganda and Kenya shared a series of photos documenting their latest fieldwork.
These photos show a visit to Lambwe Valley where blood samples were collected from cattle infected with T. brucei brucei. Our joint research aims to understand how parasites regulate antigenic variation in real field conditions rather than in a laboratory setting.

Animals come to water here. We set a trap in the bushes here to see whether we will get tsetse flies.
