The geographic spread of mosquito insecticide resistance has unclear evolutionary origins. Schmidt et al. identify partial sweeps at resistance genes on 2 chromosomes from 2 species of mosquitoes, characterizing their global distribution. @GrndCtrl2_DrTom nature.com/articles/s4146…

@DrDanielNgamije A commitment but without a tangible timeline.

Today African Ministers of Health from countries hardest hit by malaria committed to step up action to end deaths from the disease. They pledged to “to hold each other and our countries accountable" for the commitments outlined in the Yaoundé Declaration. twtr.to/DGlh2

@lipangalala @Fredros_Inc Another reason why the impact of this manufacturing change was greater in PNG than in 'other countries' is that we don't have pyrethroid resistance. And no other country in the world exclusively used PN2 for >10 years. Most countries received mixes of different products.

@Fredros_Inc Increases in malaria are certainly multifactorial but the PNG data show clearly that bioefficacy differed significantly with the same test. I wonder about the scientific basis for dismissing these findings and considering tunnel tests and a WHO standard the only relevant measure.

Mmmmmm! really? How would you prove that the "substandard" nets are the reason malaria has been rising? really? I want to hear the other side of this story. ~ The world is losing its fight against malaria. And a single business decision taken more than 10 years ago has made things worse.
