The efficacy of spatial repellents for malaria vector control, may be limited by insecticide resistance. We identified key molecular markers to monitor: knockdown resistance mutations and cytochrome P450 enzymes. Read about it here:link.springer.com/article/10.118…

In our recent article, we describe insensitivity to spatial repellents as associated with target site mutations and molecular markers. We recommend that in areas where SRs are deployed, routine monitoring should be done: doi.org/10.12688/verix… @eochomo, @KEMRI_Kenya

🚨NEW PREPRINT🚨We sequenced the genomes of 334 mosquitoes in Tanzania to investigate the population genomic structure of Anopheles funestus, a dominant malaria vector in eastern and southern Africa. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A prospective PhD student should look for a kind and understanding mentor, not necessarily the most brilliant one or someone working at a prestigious institution. A kind mentor will focus on your progress and work to uplift you.

Meet @SophiaMwinyi, a Research Scientist at @ifakarahealth and a PhD student at the @UofGlasgow Read about her journey in malaria genomics and her recent work contributing to the identification of a cryptic mosquito taxon on the coast of East Africa 🦟 malariagen.net/article/a-cryp…

@MissKwegah1 Please wakili! Nyalo bedo mondisore sana.

We’re changing how data is stored in the Malaria Vector Genome Observatory 🦟 Depending on how you access the data, you may need to run some updates to maintain access by 31st December 2024. Find out more 👇 malariagen.github.io/vobs-updates/2…

@shilla_ekodir If you missed out on our poster today at #TropMed24, please find the latest updates at irmapper.com and reach out with any follow-up questions here: info@irmapper.com @ASTMH @KEMRI_Kenya @vestergaard

Our preprint on Spatial distribution, genetic analysis, and population structure of the invasive Anopheles stephensi in Kenya: 2022-2024  is now posted. It highlights the contribution of the road network to its spread. researchsquare.com/article/rs-537…

The world is changing—rapidly. The economies of yesterday are no longer the ones we’re operating in today, and what worked for the generation before us isn’t necessarily the formula for success anymore. The methods and mindsets that shaped past generations are often ill-suited for the fast-paced, digital-first, interconnected world we're navigating. The rules are different, and we need to adapt.....

Our work is available on @ResearchGate: researchgate.net/publication/38… Analyses of whole-genome data revealed geographical population structure between the northwestern region and central-coastal Kenya, which was likely influenced by the Great Rift Valley.

2 hours in and 64 year old Sally Njeri is going strong! She is swimming for 6 hours non-stop to raise funds to support autistic children and raise funds for diving and equipment at the Nakuru Athletic Club. She is live streaming this on her Facebook page as well

Congratulations Dr @odero_joe on passing his viva today with no corrections! SO SO SO proud of you! Huge thanks to both examiners @hilary_ranson @LSTMnews and @martllewellyn @UofGSBOHVM and convenor #TonyPage Thank you to supervisors @Fredros_Inc @drheatherferg @DaveW43883848

Why @RutoMustResignNow. #NoRetreatNoSurrender. Viva!

We, the people of Kenya
