📢We are very pleased to share the case control protocol paper for our @CeaseMalaria study in Ethiopia and Sudan. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… The results should be very exciting 🦟

New! World Malaria Report 2023 In 2022, global malaria cases totaled 249 million, up by 5 million from 2021. The WHO African Region witnessed significant increases. More to read👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 who.int/publications/i…

Do you work on vector borne diseases in Africa? We need your help. ~ A colleague of mine is investigating perspectives of men and women working in vector control towards gender inclusivity - focus is on African Institutions" ~ To participate, please use this link: tinyurl.com/4wkxadt6 . Thank u 4 ur consideration ~

Exciting News! we are pleased to announce the third iteration of our 𝑭𝑹𝑬𝑬 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆 to be held between March and May 2024, delivered jointly by MalariaGEN. @malariagenomics Deadline: 12 January 2024 Apply here: lnkd.in/eJYEKf94

We were pleased to welcome @BBCNWT to @CSRIatLSTM to talk about our vital research into snakebite and developing antivenom treatments. #LSTM125 You can listen back to reports on @bbcmerseyside bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0… (from 2:37:29) and bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0… (from 55:56)

New Study Shows the Dominance of the Malaria Vector, Anopheles funestus in East and Southern Africa after 20 Years of Widespread Insecticide Use ~ In this study led by @Betweljohn & Dr. Anne Wislon, we investigated the changes in the contribution of different vector species to malaria transmission in east and southern Africa over the past 20 years, during which there has been widespread insecticide-based vector control. We show that as the role of Anopheles gambiae has declined, An. funestus has remained dominant in most settings in east and southern Africa; other secondary vector species may play minor roles in specific localities. Vector control should be optimized to match these entomological trends, considering the different ecologies and behaviors of the dominant vector species. @ifakarahealth @LSTMvector @LSTMnews @pselvaraj05 @halfan30 ~ Msugupakulya et al 2023 Changes in contributions of different Anopheles species to malaria transmission in east and southern Africa from 2000 to 2022: parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Seriously, just a couple of minutes to watch this:

Thanks @IanBFAWU we had #picketlinedogs solidarity today 🐕🐕✊️

#Solidarity with all @ULivUCU2 @LSTMnews comrades striking for #recognition and the #4fights today. ✊️

Out on strike today with @ULivUCU2 @ucu for fair pay, a proper union recognition agreement, an end to casualisation in academia, and equal pay ✊ #ucuRising #FourFights

📢Don't miss the @CeaseMalaria symposium this afternoon at @pamcafrica🦟. Catch the latest updates from our teams in Ethiopia and Sudan. Symposium ID: 518, Parallel Session 15 - 16:30- 18:00pm - Skylight Meeting Room 2 @Jima_University @AHRI @LSTMVector @ITMantwerp @fjaiteh16

First conference talk for @RhiannonAELogan at #PAMCA2023 👏👏👏

Great vector bionomics session at #PAMCA2023 🦟 @Sanjay_C_Nagi of @LSTMvector presents his findings on resistance to the insecticide Pirimiphos-methyl in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes. This research used whole genome sequencing via the MalariaGEN pipeline.

An stephensi in Africa: why now? Could the high altitude windborne migration explain this? Why only human-mediated transport is hypothesized as the route of invasion? Response is found here pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… @pamcafrica @NIH @WHO @MESAmalaria @NIH_OITE @invectorcontrol

Solidarity to all #ucuRISING #UCU members beginning the Marking and Assessment Boycott today. Your action & sacrifice are important & you're part of a historic struggle for fair treatment & pay in our sector!

📢EpiCass and CassavaNet4Dev are offering free Advanced Bioinformatics training in Africa for 20 students/researchers. The course covers Linux, NGS basics & data analysis using haplotype-resolved reference genomes. View & register for the course here 👉bit.ly/366unAR

📢#VoteReject 📢Defend your #UCU from undemocratic forces 🥷 Do you want a 15% pay cut? Want a crap contract? Lower pay for women, black & disabled members?, an unbearable workload, vague promises on pensions? NO?? Then vote no in latest #UCU consultations. This is your union

Join us CEMA AFRICA monthly seminar series Guest Speaker: Prof. Thomas Churcher, Imperial College London, UK Topic: Optimising the epidemiological benefit of vector control against malaria Date: Wednesday 5th April Time: 12:00pm East Africa Time Register: bit.ly/3ZDec3Y

UCU members smashed the anti-TU threshold & rejected the employers' hot air with an amazing #ucuRISING ballot. Beware the wolf in sheep's clothing - vote #REJECT in both disputes in the ill-judged e-consultations that started today. Our colleagues & students deserve better.
