Neglected Tropical Diseases Malawi

Congratulations to our PhD student @nambala_peter on the publication of this paper. This article discuses human responses to T. B rhodesiense infection using endemic samples. Well done! journals.plos.org/plosntds/artic…

Our article on hybrid schistosomes is featured with a LSTM news item lstmed.ac.uk/news-events/ne… @elimin8schisto @MLW_Programme @NTDsMalawi @MalawiVector

An important output from HUGS about a ‘typical’ case of FGS in Malawi frontiersin.org/journals/tropi… @elimin8schisto @NTDsMalawi @LSTMnews @MalariaNTDAPPG @MLW_Programme

Our paper highlighting MGS in Malawi and sub Saharan Africa is out. @NTDsMalawi

Our recent articles on #MGS in Malawi is given a FORUM ARTICLE highlight in authors.elsevier.com/a/1jAvN5Eb1xJI… but will this stimulate the much needed community-based surveillance across Africa? Let's hope so. @elimin8schisto @WHOAFRO @UKinMalawi @LSTMnews @sekekayuni @janelisa_musaya

Some additional HUGS research on human cercarial dermatitis (HCD) helps to understand its occurrence and nuisance in the UK lstmed.ac.uk/news-events/ne…

Finally our paper on T.b. rhodesiense transcriptomes in endemic samples has been published. #PLOSNTDs: Transcriptome profiles of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense in Malawi reveal focus specific gene expr ... dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

Well done to @johnarcher088 with a new molecular xenomonitoring assay for trematode infections in Biomphalaria @MLW_Programme @NTDsMalawi sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #schistosomiasis

MLW joins the rest of the world in celebrating #InternationalWomensDay. Through our #Safeguarding office, we create a safe and equitable environment to #AccelerateGrowth for women who are key to our mission: conduct excellent research and train the next generation of scientists.

Our article on Orientogalba soon to appear in final form in url.uk.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/2USwCqlqnULy… @LSTMnews @CNTD_LSTM @NTDsMalawi @MLW_Programme @wellcometrust

Back in Malawi and checking for Orientogalba viridis in Chikwawa District to find extremely large snails but thankfully no schistosome cercariae @MalawiVector @NTDsMalawi

A recent blog to set in context our studies on avian schistosomes and surveillance of snail-borne disease in UK (and Malawi) #openwaterswimming lstmed.ac.uk/news-events/bl…’s-itch-across-the-uk

@KUHeS_mw Pathology Department dinner to celebrate new Profs Janelisa Musaya and Chisomo Msefula... true inspirational stories @MLW_Programme @kuhes_rsc

Dr John-Arne Rottingen (new @wellcometrust CEO) and Dr Paul Schreier (COO) are currently visiting @MLW_Programme. During the visit, MLW has shared their work in research, training and operations.

Patient guardians, HCW's, researchers, & policymakers, convened from 13 to 15 Feb 2024 to share experiences & brainstorm solutions for improving Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) in a collaborative effort under the IPC Implement study by MLW.

Female scientists have contributed enormously to global public health and medicine. On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, I reinforce @WHO’s commitment to full and equal participation of women and girls in health science and health leadership to achieve #HealthForAll.
