LSHTM RAFT

At final Annual Scientific meeting all partners from 🇨🇮🇨🇲🇹🇿🇹🇭🇬🇧reflected on 6 years' of collaborative research. Discussed findings - implications of insecticide resistance & advice for NMCPs, distribution of #dengue & arboviruses - so much to consider: globalvectorhub.lshtm.ac.uk/raft

🌍 Webinar Invitation | World Malaria Day 2026 📢 Register: tiny.cc/WMD2026 📅 22 April 2026 (Wed) ⏰ 17:00 IST Join APMEN for: “Malaria: Global Trends, Regional Insights & Country Action Plans” Aligned with “Driven to End Malaria: Now We Can. Now We Must,” this webinar brings together global & regional, and country experts to share key insights and actions to accelerate malaria elimination. 🌐🦟 🤝 Hosted by National Academy of Vector Borne Diseases x Asia Pacific Malaria Elimination Network 🎤 Featuring: Dr Andrea Bosman, Dr Suman Rijal, and Dr Tanu Jain 🎙️ Moderated by Dr Neena Valecha #WorldMalariaDay #EndMalaria #APMEN #MalariaElimination #GlobalHealth #VectorBorneDiseases #SEARO #PublicHealth

See 3 RAFT briefs on Aedes, #dengue & urbanisation from @MahidolU in 🇹🇭 - showing risk of urbanisation, larval habitats, most effective method of vector control & an educational school programme to help communities combat #dengue globalvectorhub.lshtm.ac.uk/emerging-threa…

#Publication ''Characterising recent antimalarial resistance in West Africa: Insights from amplicon sequencing of 17,384 Plasmodium falciparum infection samples''biorxiv.org/content/10.648… Congratulations to #MARCADPlus MSc fellow Benjamin Kobna Njie & the authors #Research #Science

🦠 #Dengue is now endemic in over 100 countries, with ~50% of the world’s population at risk. New algorithms adjust for reporting delays and missing data, currently focused on Latin America. A step towards more accurate outbreak monitoring. 🟠 scidev.net/global/news/de… Via @scidevnet #GlobalHealth #Preparedness #Surveillance

📢Final few weeks of RAFT - results, evidence briefs, toolkits & publications will be coming out soon - watch this space: globalvectorhub.lshtm.ac.uk/raft #malaria #dengue #globalhealth

As #Indonesia pushes towards elimination, progress remains uneven across its shared border with #Malaysia. The Indonesia–Malaysia Peer-to-Peer Exchange on Malaria Surveillance and Response held last August reinforced a shared recognition by both countries on the importance of data-sharing to address the challenges of border #malaria. Hear more from Dedy Supriyanto from Indonesia NMP:

In 2024, an estimated 282M malaria cases + 610K deaths were reported globally, with 95% occurring in the WHO African Region. An #IJID One Health article highlights the need for tailored vector control strategies for Anopheles mosquitoes 🔗 ow.ly/LsHe50YtOLw #OneHealth

Thanks to everyone involved in all hard work in Cameroon. Great final stakeholder meeting with NMCP, @MinsanteCMR sharing results & getting feedback on insecticide resistance, arbovirus preparedness, ITN effectiveness, distribution & all RAFT research #malaria @FightingMalaria

New research from @LSHTM has identified new genetic markers that could help track emerging malaria drug resistance in Africa, supporting earlier detection and helping protect the effectiveness of current treatments. 🔬🌍 Read more 👉 lshtm.ac.uk/research/centr…

Just held final monthly meeting with all partners working on #arboviruses, Aedes, #dengue, national preparedness, urbanisation - emerging threats. Thanks for all the hard work & time you have dedicated over last 6 years! Details: globalvectorhub.lshtm.ac.uk/emerging-threa…

#Dengue is a flu-like illness spread by the bite of an Aedes mosquito 🦟 infected with dengue virus. If someone in your family 🏠 has been diagnosed with mild dengue, here's how you can care for them. #HealthForAll

A new @UN report says 4.9m children died in 2024 from preventable causes. Malaria was responsible for 17% of deaths in under-5s who survived their first month. Ending malaria in a generation is possible, if funding is protected & political will holds. buff.ly/neIrVg3
