Late post but I had a blast attending and giving a talk at the International Congress of Entomology 2024 Kyoto JP. So many amazing talks! and my first time in Japan was amazing! Kyoto was so beautiful! VectorsGlasgow UofG SBOHVM

Congratulations Victoria Githu! Victoria is a PhD student UofG SBOHVM and research scientist Ifakara Health Institute Heather Ferguson Paul Johnson

Poor Joel Odero, PhD - I had temporarily stopped subjecting PhD students to this pre-viva air guitar pep talk - but I couldn't resist today. Well - he ended up passing with no corrections. Coincidence? I think not... #FinalCountdown @vectorsglasgow

Repositioning Brusatol as a Transmission Blocker of Malaria Parasites Great work by Mimi Jane Ginny Howick UofG SBOHVM VectorsGlasgow with #XenobeResearchInstitute The University of Edinburgh pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Important new discovery by Joel Odero, PhD & team Found a mutation linked to DDT resistance in #malaria mosquitoes in Tanzania Why a mutation against a banned insecticide? Can it spread in Africa? Can it give resistance to insecticides used for vector control? Many open questions

New research, led by University of Glasgow and Ifakara Health Institute scientists has found that historical insecticide use may be linked to DDT resistance among some mosquitoes in Eastern and Southern Africa 🦟 Francesco Baldini UofG SBOHVM Molecular Ecology Read more➡️ gla.ac/3zGpbTk

.BBC Scotland A Scottish-led team of scientists has discovered the first cases of genetic mutation in malaria-spreading mosquitoes that give them resistance to DDT, a banned insecticide which continues to affect the environment media.pressdata.co.uk/viewbroadcast.… UofG SBOHVM Ifakara Health Institute

The MosquitoScotland team had a great week at #ESOVE2024 presenting results on #mosquitoes and #vector-borne disease risk. Below left Dr Georgia Kirby shares her results from #citizenscience, right Meshach Lee presents on his mosquito trap evaluation VectorsGlasgow UofG SBOHVM

MosquitoScotland team catch up at #ESOVE in Montpellier! L-R - Francesco Baldini Dr Steven White Emilie Pondeville & Jean-Philippe Parvy. Great meeting with lots of interesting talks & exchanges. Looking forward to @EMCAtweets conference next year. @vectorsglasgow MRC-Uni of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research @uk_ceh

We are delighted to launch our new tick awareness animation aimed at younger children (aged 5-11) The animation aims to enable younger children to be their own advocates and stay safe whilst enjoying the outdoors! youtu.be/C3bH8EuxyT0?fe…

My youngest is a magnet for ticks so helping him understand what to look for is really important. As for the oldest, never had a tick, but he did lend his beautiful voice to this amazing animation 🥰. Such an amazing example of engagement done right

Excellent talk last week VectorsGlasgow meeting by Meshach Lee on the Effect of the Urban-Rural Gradient on Dipteran Vector-borne Disease Risk in Scotland Mesh is UofG JMS PhD PhD student based UofG SBOHVM working with MosquitoScotland Heather Ferguson Davide M Dominoni Francesco Baldini

🚨New work by Dr Najat on "Societal uses of the main water bodies inhabited by #malaria vectors and implications for larval source management"

Fantastic pre-viva talk by Issa Mshani today on his PhD work "Screening of Malaria Infections Using AI-Powered Infrared Spectroscopy" An impressive breadth and depth, spanning epidemiology to parasitology, physical chemistry to computing science. Ifakara Health Institute UofG SBOHVM
