Host genetics affect #plasmodiumfalciparum #gametocytedevelopment. Our new preprint shows that sexual conversion is higher in erythrocytes with #hemoglobin AS and AC.🦠🩸Check it out! @itmantwerp.bsky.social, CRUN (Burkina Faso), @cortesmalaria.bsky.social & Guy Caljon's lab.

New preprint out! We made a #Plasmodium knowlesi A1-H.1 #transcriptome time course for asexual blood stages🩸. tinyurl.com/mwd9b8vx 👩‍💻Webtool to compare temporal expression to P. vivax: tinyurl.com/bdz2ndsj @itmantwerp.bsky.social @eknuepfer.bsky.social @cortesmalaria.bsky.social

Today at the BSPP meeting we @itmmalaria.bsky.social officially launched our call for a BENELUX Malaria Center. Are you a researcher from the BENELUX area working on malaria interested to connect in a yearly meeting ? 📋 sign up forms.cloud.microsoft/e/vZJ5cLGhT2

In light of #WorldMalariaDay, ITM PhD-student Luis Esteban Cabrera Sosa will present on the current state of malaria epidemiology in the Peruvian Amazon and how molecular surveillance can be a useful tool to overcome the challenges of malaria elimination. Register here! itg.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Tandem talks today at @escmid.bsky.social in the session Malaria: when the drugs don't work, management of treatment failure in non-endemic countries. @itmantwerp.bsky.social taking the floor!

#Malaria is the leading cause of death in #Burundi. This week, we engaged with key stakeholders, gaining insights into challenges and opportunities. With @enabel.be & @itmantwerp.bsky.social #ITM, we are working toward a Malaria Research & Surveillance Center to strengthen care & #surveillance.

Strengthening the links between @itmantwerp.bsky.social and #AfricaCDC. Looking at how to better support malaria molecular surveillance efforts in the continent.

And @erinsauve.bsky.social received a best poster award at #ICPvR for her P. vivax scRNAseq work!

Day 3 #ICPvR: Poster presentations by @luiscabreras.bsky.social @katlijndm.bsky.social and @ekattenberg.bsky.social on P. vivax molecular surveillance and PvPAM reference genome.

Fresh from the Press: our (RBC Rwanda, MOH Rwanda , University of Rwanda and @itmantwerp.bsky.socal ) review on malaria epidemiology and control strategies in Rwanda from 2018 to 2023, documenting their impact, persistent gaps and emerging challenges. Congratulations to Arlette! bit.ly/4gHRyzG

Day 2 #ICPvR2025: second poster of @erinsauve.bsky.social about Pv CQ susceptibility in PNG.

Day 1 #ICPvR2025: Excellent turbo talk by @daliia193.bsky.social on Pk A1-H.1 gene expression time course.

Educate a girl, empower the world! Strong girls, strong world 🌏 #WomenInSTEM #WomeninMalaria

Day 1 @ICPvR in Puducherry. First poster presentation by Erin (erinsauve.bsky.social) 'Single cell insights into P.vivax natural infections'
