#arboviruses #dengue

#MIM2024 ! #CarlosDJOKO , a Ph.D. student at CRID, presented a study on the resistance of major African #malaria vector, Anopheles funestus, to #pyrethroids . The study revealed a rapid spread of the CYP9K1 454A resistant allele, impacting the effectiveness of bed nets.

Results are out in our poll: Should we (try) to eradicate An Stephensi from Africa?
63% Yes, definitely
34% Not sure
3% It's too late

Let's work together towards this!

Thanks for joining in, it's been great meeting everyone & discussing the threat of An Stephensi

Our Centre members London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine contributed to this crucial piece published by Nature Medicine on #WorldMalariaDay2024 🦟 highlighting the threat ART-R poses to malaria treatment & proposing actionable steps to address this challenge.

Time for action is now👇

#WorldMalariaDay
Two decades of progress in the fight against #malaria 🦟cut deaths in half, but that progress has stalled. That is why we continue to invest in inclusive R&D that can help deliver the breakthroughs we need. In the last year: (1/8)
