SYP Ambassador Series Spotlighting Canadian Efforts Against NTDs with Dr Melisa Gualdron Lopez

In this interview, as part of the SYP Ambassador Series spotlighting Canadian efforts against neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), SYP Ambassador Brianna Anderson speaks with Dr. Melisa Gualdron Lopez to explore her research on congenital Chagas disease and placental malaria, and how the parasites behind Chagas disease (T. cruzi) and malaria (P. falciparum) affect the placenta during pregnancy. Her work addresses critical maternal health issues, especially in regions where these diseases are most common.

Dans cet entretien, qui s'inscrit dans le cadre de la série des ambassadeurs du PJS mettant en lumière les efforts canadiens contre les maladies tropicales négligées (MTN), Brianna Anderson, ambassadrice du PJS, s'entretient avec le Dr Melisa Gualdron Lopez pour explorer ses recherches sur la maladie de Chagas congénitale et le paludisme placentaire, et sur la manière dont les parasites responsables de la maladie de Chagas (T. cruzi) et du paludisme (P. falciparum) affectent le placenta pendant la grossesse. Ses travaux portent sur des questions essentielles de santé maternelle, en particulier dans les régions où ces maladies sont les plus répandues.
