Dr Joachim Richter M.D.

My work focussed on clinical research in tropical medicine, in particular on the application of ultrasonography in tropical diseases.

I started publishing on ultrasonography in schistosomiasis in 1992.

In 2000, I was a co-editor of the international protocol on ultrasonography in schistosomiasis published by the WHO.

In 2014, we discovered and reported the outbreak of autochthonous schistosomiasis in Corsica / France

Other publications included works on the ultrasound findings associated to fascioliasis, echinococcosis and ascariasis, on the use of ultrasonography in malaria and on the echocardiographic findings in a population with limited resources.
