The Laboratory of Animal Biology and Ecology (LBEA) is a research laboratory of the Joseph KI-ZERBO University (Burkina Faso). The LBEA is an interdisciplinary entity (Animal Biodiversity and Tropical Ecosystems, Parasitology), which promotes both cross-cutting initiatives bringing together researchers from the different disciplines that compose it, and specific activities carried out by each discipline. It strives to develop interdisciplinary relations with other laboratories of the University, as well as relations with national and/ or international research centers.
