After years of failing malaria strategies, it is tempting [and probably fashionable right now] to point fingers at climate change. But we have to ask ourselves, is this really a fair assessment? ~ WHO’s annual malaria report spotlights the growing threat of climate change:

New research underscores the need to increase education and engagement of African stakeholders on field-testing & potential use of gene drive mosquitoes for malaria control and elimination ~ In a study led by my colleague, Dr. Lina Finda, we explored views of key stakeholders

Can’t wait to hang out with the amazing folks UPenn Anthropology

How will climate change affect the risk of mosquito borne diseases ? Here are some thoughts - updated ~ 1) Expansions in the geographical range of malaria transmission are more likely to be altitudinal rather than longitudinal. In Africa, this will likely mean more malaria in

🌍 ENGAGEMENT: Promising support for gene drives to end malaria in Africa After reaching out to dozens of public health stakeholders from 25 countries across Africa, scientists have yet again underlined the potential of #genedrives 🧬 in the continent, suggesting that the

New publication provides details of the evolving trends in malaria transmission in Tanzania - reveals which vector species are most abundant, and more importantly, which species are responsible for the bulk of malaria infections. ~ A new paper by Tanzania's National Malaria

Impact of #climate change on #malaria transmission has rightly received much attention. Here Nico Govella & I consider a much less explored Q: how will #climate change impact the implementation & efficacy of #vector control interventions? 4 areas discussed brill.com/edcollchap-oa/…
