I should read more papers because how do I miss my friend @eochomo being in freaking @nytimes talking about malaria 🦟 ? nytimes.com/2023/10/06/ins…
The detection of Anopheles coluzzi in Kenya despite samples having been collected as early as 2006 is now published. malariajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
🌍🦟👥 Today, 25 April 2024, Day 5 of #PAMC2024, coincides with #WorldMalariaDay. @MIM_PAMC celebrated this day with an historic event held at the conference venue in Kigali, Rwanda. Let's join our forces to end malaria in Africa! #MIM2024 #AfricaEndingMalaria #WMD2024
Countdown to #WorldMalariaDay 2024! The Kenya AEGIS trials show promising results in the fight against malaria. Huge thanks to @KEMRI_Kenya for their dedication in completing the study. Stay tuned for the upcoming WHO VCAG report! #EndMalaria
If you are attending the MIM Conference in Kigali, we are delighted to invite you to a special Symposium. Meeting Room: AD11 Date /time: April 22, at 5:00 pm Chair: Elijah Juma, PhD; Co-chair: Eric Ochomo, PhD @Tung_Jowi, @eochomo #MIM2024 @malariagenomics

As we described with Anopheles arabiensis earlier, @SaizonouH leads the team in describing elevated salivary gland and cuticular gene expression in insecticide resistant An. gambiae from Benin. bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
We found Kdr (!!!) in Anopheles funestus 🤯 work led by @odero_joe 🫡 A fascinating story. thread below 👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Aside from the usual cytochrome P450s, here @omoke_diana leads work which demonstrates the involvement of little known salivary gland and cuticular proteins in insecticide resistance. link.springer.com/article/10.118… @KEMRI_Kenya Thanks for funding from @gatesfoundation
This excellent piece of work led by @JackieKosgei comparing the efficacy of different mosquito trapping methods implemented hourly through the night reveal the superiority of UV light trap, especially for outdoor mosquito collections. link.springer.com/article/10.118…
Many thanks to Unitaid for funding that accelerates Research into life saving mosquito control products like spatial repellents!

I am thrilled about this work from the @AEGISProgram! Briefly, 98% of all mosquito bites are still happening indoors thus nets offer between 79-82% protection. Early morning biting is the bulk of the remaining exposure. link.springer.com/article/10.118…
We're back with another Journal Club in March! 👥 In this session, Dr @Sanjay_C_Nagi will discuss his latest research on insecticide resistance evolution in Anopheles gambiae 🦟 Read the pre-print: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Register ⬇️ sanger.zoom.us/webinar/regist… @LSTMvector
Yet another important malaria vector, Anopheles coluzzii, exists in Kenya. Detected to have invaded Turkana county as far back as at least 2006! researchsquare.com/article/rs-395…
This comical newspaper piece is based on an article we did last year ! Kids are getting bitten in school. malariajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Join us for the @AEGISProgram symposium at KASH 14!
Anopheles stephensi! Challenging taxonomy, inexperienced African scientists! What to do now? Well, here we describe a novel rapid colorimetric LAMP assay to identify this vector with utmost specificity and sensitivity! Enjoy! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Researcher! We are on the lookout for a passionate scientist to work with us at @UofGlasgow and @ifakarahealth ~ Your role will focus on analyzing the population dynamics of local malaria vectors in different African settings to identify…
