Happy to share our work on octopamine's role in modulating malaria mosquito audition in the swarm to facilitate partner detection! Octopamine signalling in the mosquito ear can be targeted by currently available insecticides🧵1/n neuromosquitolab.org nature.com/articles/s4146…

In an exciting new direction for the lab, we (circuits.jhu.edu) teamed up with Cindy Moss (batlab.johnshopkins.edu) and Mel Wohlgemuth (arizonabatlab.com) to bring two-photon imaging to the echolocating bat! Excited to share our preprint about this work (1/13)

This whole concept is just fascinating. Listen to hear what @McMenimanLab and his team did to gather the scents required to determine which scents mosquitoes prefer. It involves hot plates and sleeping volunteers and ... well, you just have to listen.

What scents are most alluring to mosquitoes? On today’s @publichealthpod with @SDesmon, @JHMRImalaria’s Conor McMeniman (@McMenimanLab) explains how learning more about mosquitoes’ scent preferences can help us in the fight against malaria. johnshopkinssph.libsyn.com/630-why-are-so…

As promised...links for the two postdoc positions @LSTMnews BMGF funded project - Wolbachia in Anopheles tinyurl.com/pcc64bam BBSRC funded project - Wolbachia in Culex. tinyurl.com/5ac26dz9 Check em out, please share, and perfect timing to chat to me at #Wolbachia2023
🦟🦠@mosquitomicrobe

A quick FYI. If you’re interested to work on these topics the lab will soon be advertising two postdocs. One on Wolbachia and Anopheles, the other on Wolbachia control in Culex. Stay tuned for the link! Email or come and chat to me at the Wolbachia conference in Crete.
