From Nature Africa: Using genomics to find solutions to malaria - Across Africa, researchers are looking at use of new technologies to curb the spread of #malaria, but there are many challenges: nature.com/articles/d4414…

MALARIA CONTROL: Resistance in mosquito species raises concerns 🔬 A recent study led by @Ifakarahealth in collaboration with LSTM Vector Biology, Kenya Medical Research Institute, Wellcome Sanger Institute and University of Glasgow reveals new genetic mutations in Anopheles funestus, a key malaria-transmitting mosquito in

New 2 year post doctoral position using genomics to study the evolution of malaria vectors in Uganda and Kenya. tinyurl.com/45vba6ps

Who wants to buy 4 million butterflies? A man in Nairobi has been collecting 🦋 for decades and he's ready to sell but can't find a buyer. There's a catch... l went to see the local lepidopterist who has probably the world's largest private collection of butterflies

It's been an exciting year of Malaria Genomic Epidemiology Journal Clubs 🗣️ In our latest blog, take a look back at all the sessions we held this year; and better yet, save our Journal Club YouTube playlist to your holiday watch list for this month ⏯️ malariagen.net/article/a-year…

New research on Anopheles funestus in Africa reveals high genetic diversity, widespread insecticide resistance, and promising targets for gene drive vector control. 🦟 Read the full pre-print on the genomic diversity of this important malaria vector biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
