Ready for our joint #CNNTDs and @DNDi activity: Driving Collaborative R&D for #neglected patients amidst a #funding crisis

Out now in Advances in Parasitology: our review of leishmaniasis across CL/MCL/VL/CanL. We unpack treatment failure, drug resistance, vaccine status, and the role of dogs as reservoirs. FREE for 50 days ⤵️ authors.elsevier.com/a/1luaF,1V2JWH… #Leishmaniasis #OneHealth #NTDs #Parasitology

Feel free to reach out, DM me or email me for informal queries.

🚨 New paper out! Proud to share our latest work in J. Med. Chem. 🧪 Collaboration across borders, innovation in drug discovery, and a step forward for #NTDs science. 👉 pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.102…

Thank you to @lifesciences_bc for acknowledging our oral Amphotericin B Program that was highlighted by @CIHR_IRSC @UBC @UTexasPharmacy @MSF_access @Can_NTDs @ISNTD_Press @ScienceVancity @UBCNews @ubclifesciences

Never heard of #leishmaniasis? It's closer than you think. Sam's Story youtube.com/watch?v=Tepiqp… Tropical diseases are becoming prevalent in surprising places, e.g. #USA. This video explores the spread and impact of #cutaneous #leishmaniasis in new areas. @The_MRC @durham_uni @DNDi

🛎️ Ya está disponible en 4 idiomas el portal de datos regionales de la #IniciativaEliminación Incluye 2️⃣ paneles interactivos: - Metas de eliminación por enfermedad y condición - Indicadores clave por líneas de acción 🔗paho.org/es/portal-dato…

We're closer than ever to eliminating trachoma by 2030! New @WHO data shows the SAFE strategy (surgery, antibiotics, facial cleanliness, environmental improvement) has driven a 93% drop in trachoma risk over 23 years. 🔗 Learn more: bit.ly/4m634rT #UniteActEliminate

Happy to share our latest collaborative preprint: Telomere-to-telomere assembly detects genomic diversity in Canadian strains of Borrelia burgdorferi biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #Lyme #Borrelia #Ticks

Canadian researchers have developed a groundbreaking treatment for “black fever” parasitic disease! The Wasan lab is working to get a new oral medication into the hands of those who need it. cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/54163.html?f…

👏Congratulations Senegal! Senegal has been validated by @WHO as having eliminated #trachoma as a public health problem. It is the 9th country in the WHO African Region and the 25th country globally to achieve this milestone. trachomacoalition.org/news-blogs/sen…

The #KigaliDeclaration Commitment Tracker is the world’s only online, public financing tracker for neglected tropical diseases (#NTDs). It’s helping partners monitor progress and drive new investments for #NTD elimination. Explore the tracker via: bit.ly/4n7414x

2 weeks ago, @Can_NTDs, @bruyerehealth, & @thefastpackage hosted an international delegation of FGS experts in Ottawa. A key highlight was the delegation’s visit to the Senate of Canada on May 28th. #GlobalHealth #Advocacy #BeatNTDs

#Leishmaniasis is a climate sensitive #NTD affecting 99 countries and putting 1 billion people at risk. Rising temperatures, shifting rainfall & land use changes are altering its spread pushing already vulnerable communities further to the margins.

A little bit late but… it was fantastic to participate to Parasito2025 in #Salvador #Brazil! Tons of great science and friends! #EVs #AMR #Leishmania #OneHealth

It was great to attend with our team to the annual Canadian #Parasitology Network #CPN meeting in Quebec
