WHO WE ARE

The Centre for Control and Prevention of Zoonoses (CCPZ) is an international hub for training, research and services in the surveillance of human-animal diseases in West Africa. CCPZ trains people to identify the causal agents, associated risk factors, mapping of the space and time distribution pattern of the problem, and promotes the containment of diseases at the human-animal-environment interface. CCPZ training curricula are at the levels of certificate of participation, Master of Science in Epizootiology (with specialty in spatial and spatio-temporal modeling; or serological and molecular epizootiology) and Doctor of the Philosophy. CCPZ’s mission is to train and support critical mass of highly skilled personnel in surveillance, control and prevention of emerging, endemic and neglected human-animal diseases in West Africa.
