Silas Lendzele Sevidzem

I am interested in biting flies and in the design of traps for their control. I have participated in several field works in Central and West Africa (Cameroon, Gabon and Ivory Coast). I started with the first field test of my trap, the ‘Sevi Trap’ (Lendzele et al., 2017) with the MSEG team in the Sora-Mboum Sahel Savanna of Cameroon. Since 2016 I am collaborating with the Cameroon-German DFG-research project with Dr. Albert Eisenbarth and PD Dr. Alfons Renz (University of Tuebingen, Germany) in a Tabanidae project at the Vina du Sud in the Adamaoua Plateau. Together with Leif Rauhöft from the University of Tuebingen, I am testing a novel trap (Sucking Cube) developed for trapping blood-hungry Simulium flies.

Morphotaxonomist, dissector and designing traps for the following insects: Glossines, Tabanids, Stomoxes, Mosquitoes, Ceratopogonids, Simulium and Ticks.

Identification and isolation of haemoparasites: Microfilaria, trypanosomes, plasmodium as well as viruses (FMDV) etc from vertebrate hosts and flies.

Serological diagnosis –ELISA Kits, Molecular diagnosis (rt RT PCR) and conventional PCRs.
