163 At the University of Pretoria Professor Adesiyun is very excited about the research-oriented atmosphere and the institutions commitment to community engagement a strength recognized globally.He is committed to bringing his experience back to benefit The UWI St.Augustine Campus on his return from sabbatical leave. Professor Adesiyun mentions some of the projects that he is spear-heading and collaborating with local researchers at Univer- sity of Pretoria including the molecular characterization of Leptospira in rodents dogs and dog owners in Mnisi area Mpumalanga Province. The area is located next to the Kruger National Parkthe largest game park in South Africa where there is extensive interface between domestic and wild animals.A second project is on cross-sectional and longitudinal studies on enteric infections bacteriaviruses and parasites responsible for morbid- ity and mortality in neonatal livestock in three provinces GautengNorth West and Mpumalanga.The primary objective of the study is to identify the important aetiological agents and to conduct molecular studies to characterize them. He is also consulting on a project on antimicrobial residues in table eggs and commenced a pilot study in Gauteng Province with the hope of using the data generated from the study to develop a national policy on the food safety aspects of table eggs sold through the formal and informal markets in the country.A number of graduate students three PhD and four MSc have already registered and engaged in these projects. According to Professor Adesiyun So far it has been an exciting and rewarding experience for me in South Africa and I look forward to annual short visits to follow-up on these projects and the progress made by the graduate studentswhich his appointment as visiting Extra-ordinary Profes- sor will facilitate.
