The biggest lesson of #TropMed22 is to learn that global health = human rights. In this context, Christian T. Happi’s symposium about the social narrative of monkeypox is more important than ever.

📢#Malaria researchers! We're developing new methods for extracting P. vivax DNA from dried blood spots and we need your help. Tell us about your DNA extraction protocol: forms.gle/8QXuaYrfEK2ALy…

4 pillars in the new World Health Organization (WHO) antimalarial drug resistance strategy for Africa: 👀 Stronger surveillance 💊 Optimise use of existing drugs 🚫 Limit the spread of resistance once it emerges 🔬 Support research and innovation who.int/publications/i… #WorldAntimicrobialAwarenessWeek

1 December is #WorldAIDSDay. Join us in fighting the inequalities that stop people from getting the life-saving health care and support they need. It's time to #Equalize! aids.day

It’s #WorldAIDSDay There were an estimated 38.4 million people living with #HIV at the end of 2021, two thirds of whom are in WHO African Region. 1.7 million of these are children bit.ly/3H0umi3

A study aiming to illuminate the origins of the #SARSCoV2 Omicron variant, using virus sequences from 22 African countries, reveals diverse Omicron ancestors existed across Africa by August 2021, predating the first reports of Omicron in November 2021. scim.ag/IF

🚨 BIG NEWS 🚨 Pf7, the latest version of our P. falciparum dataset, is out now in WellcomeOpenResearch, on our website, and on GitHub. This release has: -20k+ full sequences -Data from 33 countries -14k *new* sequences from blood spots More: malariagen.net/news-events/ne… 🧵 [1/4]
