Small dams drive Anopheles abundance during the dry season in a high malaria burden area of Malawi, a preprint, Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Programme


We had a table display of HUGS work with Shire_Vec to illustrate our activities at LSTM AGM on malaria and schistosomiasis Neglected Tropical Diseases Malawi




Used car tires or containers around homes/garages could harbor mosquitoes, threatening disease fight. The #SPACES project Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Programme is making entomological surveys of #Aedes breeding grounds around Blantyre Mw. Mosquitoes will be assessed for the presence of arboviruses.




well done team Blessings Chiepa et al


New paper alert! Congratulations to our own Shire-vec team Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Programme Link: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…



🌟 Exciting first week for Chancy Msowoya👩🏿🔬 and Chisomo Nkhoma👨🏿🔬 at LSTM, working with their tsetse colony🪰 They’ve developed skills in fly tissue extraction, ovarian age grading🪰🔬, and tsetse husbandry. Next week: lab experiments! 🧪🥼 #SleepingSickness #Entomology


Our article has been selected as the editor's choice in Medical & Veterinary Entomology. We explored the association between mosquito exposure and dam proximity by monitoring monthly mosquito catches whilst also mapping potential larval habitat and undertaking larval sampling ow.ly/VUUa50TYgAa

New article alert. Attractive targeted sugar baits have a great potential to facilitate malaria elimination efforts by complementing the current control tool kit. Take a look at my short commentary article published in Malaria Journal link.springer.com/10.1186/s12936…
