The @johnshopkinssph.bsky.social #malaria team is excited for the @astmh.bsky.social annual meeting next week, Nov 9-13. Follow us here for updates and interviews with researchers from Johns Hopkins and other institutions devoted to eliminating malaria!

The path to a vaccine for placental #malaria is long, but momentum is growing. 💉2 candidates in EVI-led projects, coordinated global trials, & strong EU–Africa collaboration bring us closer to protecting mothers & babies. 🔗Read projects.research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/en/horizon-m... #EUfunded

A new study in @plosone.org combined very-high-resolution imagery and ensemble SDMs to predict Aedes albopictus larval presence. Such techniques are important for enhanced urban mosquito control strategies, and could ultimately contribute to improved public health outcomes.

#ECDC is celebrating its 20-year anniversary today in a ceremony in Stockholm. The event highlights the Agency’s achievements over the past two decades & features discussions on the future of public health in Europe & ECDC’s role in promoting health security. www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/news-even...

Our new study shows that two DENV-4 genotype II strains - a lab-adapted and a clinical isolate - differently affect Aedes aegypti fertility, flight, and infection, revealing genotype-specific impacts on vector competence. 📄 journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/... #Dengue #VectorBiology #Aedesaegypti

Uh oh. Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are apparently multiplying in the Bay Area. These little jerks spread viral diseases like yellow fever, Dengue and Chikungunya. They often die off in the cold months in the USA and haven’t been much of a threat due to this + public health mosquito control programs.

🗞️ Exciting news - our Belgian house #mosquitoes (Culex pipiens) made it into #Science! Honoured to be part of this amazing research consortium! www.eurekalert.org/news-release... www.science.org/doi/10.1126/....
