Our MSc in Tropical Disease Biology will give you the opportunity to delve deeper into the science of #parasitology, #microbiology, host-pathogen interactions, disease vectors and the pathogens they transmit. Interested in learning more? Visit lstm.ac/TDB

It's great to see CNTD members in parliament sharing their world-leading research with MPs.⬇️

With global health inequalities at an all-time high, and issues like population growth and climate change intensifying the situation, it’s clear that as an international community, we need to take action.  Interested in learning more? Visit lstm.ac/MSc-GH

There are 21 neglected tropical diseases. Find out what they are and what causes them: bit.ly/42sbHqb #NeglectedNoMore

Welcome to #worldntdday2025 in Verona, Italy with a day of expert talks in English and Italian on all NTDs LSTM HUGS

Neglected tropical diseases affect more than one billion people worldwide, creating cycles of poverty and preventing people from achieving their full potential. Yet they are preventable, treatable, and can be eliminated. This #WorldNTDDay, let’s #UniteActEliminate to #BeatNTDs.

The REDRESS programme has made huge strides towards tackling skin NTDs. #WorldNTDDay Keep an eye on LSTM throughout the day to see more work done by CNTD members as they work to #BeatNTDs.

Some neglected tropical diseases like dengue, trachoma, lymphatic filariasis (also known as elephantiasis) are transmitted to humans by vectors such as flies and mosquitoes. Learn how to prevent them! bit.ly/3H5Y3eO #NeglectedNoMore

LSTM researchers are working with communities in Burkina Faso to develop methods for mosquito surveillance & disease outbreak prediction, to tackle the threat of dengue. David Weetman, LSTM’s co-lead on the project, explains more buff.ly/48yaq1z #WorldNTDDay #BeatNTDs

1/ Schistosomiasis research is a major focus of Centre for Neglected Tropical Diseases (CNTD). #WorldNTDDay Prof Russell Stothard and HUGS regularly publish new research, including this paper from PhD student John Archer ➡️ buff.ly/4ggxEM3. Visit the HUGS webpage ➡️ buff.ly/40B65ar.

In June, the A∙WOL antifilarial drug discovery team won the Royal Society of Chemistry Horizon Prize for their work on anti-Wolbachia drugs to combat filariasis. #WorldNTDDay The research is a vital step towards one day eliminating this NTD ➡️ buff.ly/4jMhdKy #UniteActEliminate

On #WorldNTDDay we are in the Amazonas region of Brazil working to set up a clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of new prehospital treatments for #snakebite - a NTD that causes over 100,000 deaths annually in the tropics Centre for Snakebite Research & Interventions LSTM

🚨 New research paper 🚨 Dr Ana Cubas Atienzar and CDD colleagues tested Mpox diagnostics and found that both Xpert®Mpox and M10 MPX/OPX showed low limits of detection. This makes them valuable point-of-care tools for Mpox diagnosis during outbreaks ➡️ sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
