Our Sri Lanka ABV study highlights the need for a multidisciplinary approach to determine scalability of vector control tools. RCT & social science teams evaluate spatial repellent efficacy and social acceptability in parallel. RemediumOne Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs #WorldDengueDay

Today's #WorldMosquitoDay - we are generating evidence about an innovative new tool, spatial repellents, to prevent mosquito-borne diseases like malaria & dengue Kenya Medical Research Institute CDC CatholicRelief PMRTC National Dengue Control Unit RemediumOne SC Johnson Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

Dr. Amy Morrison, a member of the AEGIS team, will be presenting on “Efficacy of a spatial repellent for control of Aedes-borne virus transmission: a cluster randomized trial in Iquitos, Peru” this week at the first #INOVEC Conference in Tanzania!

#ICYMI The AEGIS malaria cRCT in Kenya may have ended last October, but the Kenyan government is moving ahead with early implementation of spatial repellents into communities with high rates of malaria. unitaid.exposure.co/kenya-pioneers…

Our Sri Lanka #dengue cRCT study team is wrapping up the T1 blood draw sessions - another significant trial milestone! Thanks to all community member who continuously engage and play such a vital role in the trial. RemediumOne National Dengue Control Unit

In Kenya, the Unitaid-funded AEGIS project is rolling out spatial repellents where malaria rates are high. Early signs point to a breakthrough. Breakthroughs like these are critical in the fight against malaria. unitaid.org/news-blog/keny…

Looking forward to ASTMH #TropMed24 this week! Don't miss presentation of #malaria RCT results in the spatial repellent symposium and social science results during poster sessions!

If you are in attending the ASTMH conference, don't forget to stop by Symposium 148: Spatial Repellents to Prevent #Dengue and #Malaria: Evidence and Policy Updates tomorrow at 3PM - will include presentations from eric ochomo and Dr. Sagara, our Kenya and Mali cRCT PIs #TropMed24

Insightful #TropMed24 poster from our Kenya Medical Research Institute and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health research team on parallel social science study to the #malaria cRCT in Kenya.

Last week, the entire Sri Lanka cRCT study team gathered to celebrate the progress and discuss the future for the trial. We are fortunate to have such a strong team implementing study activities. RemediumOne National Dengue Control Unit

"..this is the first trial to show the significant impact that spatial repellents can have when deployed in the fight against malaria and is a major step towards a WHO recommendation for a completely new class of vector control tools" aegis.nd.edu/news-events/ne…

Could a simple, low-cost device that hangs on a wall lead to reduced malaria transmission? A University of Notre Dame study showed that a spatial repellent can have transformational outcomes on malaria infections. A new video spotlights the paths that can follow. youtube.com/watch?v=--DzhQ…

AEGIS members are looking forward presentations and collaboration at the 20th Annual RBM VCWG Meeting in a few weeks!

Ahead of #IWD2025, we celebrate the outstanding contributions of women in #malaria and #dengue research from the AEGIS and globally.

Wrapped up a terrific Vector Control Working Group meeting last week. In addition to the engaging presentations, conferences like these give AEGIS team members an opportunity to meet in person and foster an outstanding partnership.

JHU partners, Dr. Steve Harvey & Lucy Baker, visited Sri Lanka study site & the RemediumOne social science team. With a flurry of social science activities ongoing, this served as a prime opportunity for collaboration, brainstorming, & discussions of lessons learned thus far.

On #WMD2025, we're reminded ending malaria is not just a health imperative – it’s an investment in a healthier, more equitable, & safer future. Part of this investment, is data generation for new vector control tools, like spatial repellents, to complement existing tools

Madhushi Sandamini from the RemediumOne team presented a poster titled, "Changes in Domestic Mosquito Control after installing a spatial repellent in Gampaha District" at the 138th Anniversary International Medical Congress of the Sri Lanka Medical Association in July.
