Highlights from an An. stephensi in Africa symposium. A need for better surveillance, different control, an understanding of mosquito population dynamics with rapid urbanization, the use of molecular surveillance, and an opportunity for integrated vector control. #MIM2024
Jody Phelan talked about his Malaria-Profiler at our @VLIRUOS course: a #bioinformatic pipeline that identifies origin & resistance profiles. Anita Ghansah gave her latest insights into how #Ghana tackles & monitors #malaria, emphasising the relevance of #molecular#surveillance!
Thank you to everyone who joined our Journal Club with Dr @Sanjay_C_Nagi earlier today 🙌

Interested in transposable elements (#TEs) of Aedes aegypti #mosquitoes? @DaronJosquin produced a unified, manually curated TE library (available upon request). Analysis of TE organization and dynamics in the Ae. aegypti genome showcases the value of this new TE library.

Anopheles stephensi! Challenging taxonomy, inexperienced African scientists! What to do now? Well, here we describe a novel rapid colorimetric LAMP assay to identify this vector with utmost specificity and sensitivity! Enjoy! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Our new paper confirming artemisinin partial resistance for the first time in Tanzania🇹🇿 is now available online. This is a great milestone for our team and we thank all collaborators and partners for it. @nimrmsmt@IDEELlabs@JBaileyOmics@WHOmedrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
🦟 NEW PAPER ALERT! In our most recent work rdcu.be/dxdKZ, we zoomed in on the mosquito midgut epithelium, and found a hub of activity in cellular dynamics! 🔄Here are some of our insights:
We’re excited & pleased to share our new paper on trends of markers of drug resistance in Tanzania. The study reports the first case of k13 R622I & increased markers associated with resistance/reduced susceptibility to lumefantrine. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…sciencecast.org/casts/jw012rus…
Looking forward to talking about our results from Tanzania later this month! I'll even share some bonus data that's not in the JID paper, so you definitely won't want to miss it.

Unleash the potential of the Furvela tent trap, an effective yet underutilized method for sampling outdoor biting mosquitoes. Developed by Derek Charlwood, this innovative trap employs human bait to attract and capture mosquitoes seeking a blood meal in outdoor environments.…
Have you ever wondered how mosquitoes find you over long distances and why they bite you more than other people? Check out our recent work published in @CurrentBiology led by @dags263 & @stephrankin2 in collaboration with the Macha Research Trust, Zambia. cell.com/current-biolog…
