For #WorldMalariaDay, GHTC's Dr. Mikus reflects: "I know how thin the line is between surviving this disease and not. For me, it’s not abstract. It’s the memory of a fevered body, the generosity of strangers, and a medicine in the right place at the right time" www.ghtcoalition.org/blog/malaria...

As we acknowledge World Malaria Day on April 25, we celebrate a recent publication by Dr Myo Naung who developed a new computer-based method to understand diversity of #malaria antigens being tested for #vaccine candidates. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲: ciidir.com.au/news/2025/04... #WorldMalariaDay

China’s malaria-free status is a public health triumph, but also a call to action for global malaria control, say Drs Alpha Diallo & Regina Rabinovich @isglobal.org Read about our NEW @bmj.com Collection #WorldMalariaDay www.bmj.com/content/389/...

If we have to make #malaria a thing of the past for future generations, let’s reimagine the fight against this disease by leveraging cutting-edge research such as #GeneDrive. #WorldMalariaDay @genedrivenet.bsky.social

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...

Ahead of #WorldMalariaDay, this is a story you need to know. Join us in calling on the global health community to reinvest in, reignite and reimagine the fight against #malaria. Together, we change the story a build a healthier, malaria-free future for all.

Thrilled to be hosting tomorrow’s #Malaria episode of Getting to Zero produced by @sabinvaccine.bsky.social in honor of #WorldMalariaDay! Join me as I tap into Sir Brian Greenwood’s decades of expertise in advancing malaria prevention & control. April 25, 12 noon EST m.youtube.com/watch?v=tTmI...

Investing in the fight against malaria not only saves lives – it also boosts productivity and strengthens global health systems. A fully funded @GlobalFund is our best defense. Together, we can build a healthier, safer, more equitable world for all. #WorldMalariaDay #EndMalaria

🔧 No single tool will #EndMalaria. But when used together, the tools we have—including vaccines, medicines & bed nets—are powerful, especially as part of locally led, context-driven prevention strategies. As #WorldMalariaDay approaches, let’s invest in what works and deliver it to all 🚀 @mmv.org

In recognition of #WorldMalariaDay, GHTC's Executive Director Dr. Kristie Mikus reflects on her own experience with malaria and urges leaders and policymakers to continue to invest in innovations to address it. www.ghtcoalition.org/blog/malaria...
