It's #WorldMalariaDay

#Malaria took over 600k lives last year, and in Africa, nearly 80% of those deaths were children under 5

Insecticide resistance & climate chance may make malaria more challenging to eradicate

🧵 on what Imperial College London researchers are doing about it:

Meet Aayushi A. Sharma! Aayushi Ashok Sharma is a PhD student & Research Assistant at Imperial College London transmissionzero working on innovative strategies to reduce #malaria transmission. 🔬

This World Malaria Day, let’s “Accelerate the fight against malaria for a more equitable world”
#WorldMalariaDay2024 #WHO

Today, #WorldMalariaDay , I was really impressed to discover the transgenic #Anopheles larvae made by transmissionzero, which is the 1st of its kind created in Africa. This will accelerate the fight against malaria! Imperial College London Ifakara Health Institute

This #WorldMalariaDay , we are celebrating 12 researchers working to #AccelerateTheFight against #malaria for a more equitable world.

Did you know Nobel Prize laureate Ronald Ross was the first person to link mosquitos and malaria transmission?

'The work, was most exhausting, and so blinding that I could scarcely see afterwards,' he said. This is a page from his notebook.

For #WorldMalariaDay , Tibebu Habtewold (PhD) Imperial College London transmissionzero covers his work with Ifakara Health Institute and the importance of developing scalable and #equitable tools to help uplift the health and prosperity of communities in sub-Saharan Africa🌍⬇️

We are thrilled to welcome transmissionzero to the Network! Led by scientists at Imperial College London and Ifakara Health Institute, in partnership with NIMR Tanzania and Swiss TPH, the programme is working to develop innovative genetic tools to stop #malaria transmission.⬇️

New study finds the strongest evidence of Anopheles stephensi driving urban malaria outbreaks in Africa
~
A new study by Dr. fitsumgtadesse and his team has found a very strong association between the presence of Anopheles stephensi, the Asian malaria vector now spreading widely in

Congratulations to the Imperial College London VigiLab team on this exciting PNASNews paper identifying a promising malaria transmission blocking target! bit.ly/3rYBLti
