This young man, Steve Gowelo, a PhD student working under @TRUECOM1 got a first prize for the best PhD student presentation today at our CoM annual research dissemination conference. Let’s give him a hand 👏

Trying, getting inspiration isn’t real! holding onto the little reason!

Our friend ⁦Steve Gowelo⁩ in #Malawi was so happy he (well, ⁦Sander Koenraadt⁩) handed in the reading version of his PhD-thesis last Friday. But now instead of drinking beer he is working with ⁦Jᴇʀᴏᴇɴ Sᴘɪᴛᴢᴇɴ⁩ on getting the chapters published. #EndingPhDlife

Our newest publication: parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/track/pdf/10.1…

In Majete area, southern Malawi, higher anopheline larval densities are associated with presence of bare soil around aquatic habitats and presence of culicine larvae. #ournewestpublication!!Characterisation of anopheline larval habitats in southern Malawi sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Larval source management is a viable complementary tool to standard malaria control measures. Involving communities in LSM could increase intervention coverage, reduce costs of implementation and improve sustainability of operations, rdcu.be/b4Ah8 #ournewestpublication

Ready for the digital defense of Steve Gowelo in my role as co-promotor. #malaria #biologicalcontrol #communityparticipation. Good luck Steve! One Health Entomology Group, Wageningen University

Today 29/10/2021 marks the end of the attachment of 4students from Mzuzu University at #MAC/Kamuzu University of Health Sciences. They participated in the activities at the insectary, lab & field. This is the 1st time that #MAC is collaborating with Mzuzu University. With Steve Gowelo, @goupeyou_youmsi, Rosheen Sungeni Mthawanji 🇲🇼

This is quite a network of #malaria surveillance sites; kudos U.S. President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) & local partners; ~~ Seems like a great start to address weaknesses in data collection & data use; and a great opportunity to support country level and sub-national surveillance platforms Source: PMI Reports

There are many ways to implement indoor residual spraying (IRS) to help #endmalaria. Join us February 17 at 8:00am EST to learn about different models for supporting IRS from examples in Malawi, Mozambique, and Ethiopia. Register at: abtassociates.webex.com/abtassociates/…

What are #genedrive modified mosquitoes? And how can they be used to fight #malaria?
