Ivermectin Reduced Malaria Incidence by 26% in Kenyan Children 🦟

Ivermectin reduces malaria transmission in trial medpagetoday.com/infectiousdise…

Giving people in a community ivermectin, a common antiparasitic drug that also kills mosquitoes, reduced the number of new malaria infections in children by about one-quarter in a large field study in Kenya. scim.ag/4lFQhwl

Scientists find that an old deworming drug can reduce malaria transmission when given in mass at the right time. #KEMRI_WELLCOME #ISGlobal #UNITAID nation.africa/kenya/health/s…

Controversial drug ivermectin could be the key to reducing mosquito bites — and the spread of malaria trib.al/ioj08Ah

New study in Kenya shows that mass drug administration using ivermectin cuts new malaria infections by 26% among children aged 5–15, with no rise in serious side-effects. ~ A large trial at the coast of Kenya has shown that giving the antiparasitic drug IVERMECTIN to most

Here’s something the #Ivermectin fans can get excited about. It’s useless against #covid but mass administration seems to reduce the incidence of malaria in children over 5 years. Widespread use once per month reduced malaria infections by about a quarter. Possibly more-wide

Excited to share our team’s latest publication on the use of MALDI-TOF MS for identification of Afro-tropical secondary malaria vectors. 🌍🦟 Grateful to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Marta Maia ,Dr. Carlos Chaccour 🦟🔚💊 malariajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Our latest publication demonstrates how MALDI-TOF MS can accurately identify secondary malaria malaria vectors from Kenya and Mozambique. Performance was comparable to sequencing but costing less than 0.2 USD/sample. Congrats to Mercy Tuwei and team! malariajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

This study, by colleagues KEMRI-Wellcome , demonstrates the potential of MALDI-TOF MS as a cost-effective, scalable, and accurate tool for mosquito species identification. A key highlight is that the method is 91% accurate in species identification, validated by sequencing, and

Great article on our research on MALDI-TOF MS for mosquito typing. Understanding the threat is integral to supporting decision-makers in developing tailored control strategies, enhancing the country's preparedness to control mosquito-borne diseases. healthbusiness.co.ke/9349/kemri-wel…
