A first alert of Biomphalaria pfeifferi in the Lower Shire, Southern Malawi, a keystone intermediate snail host for intestinal schistosomiasis. Congrats Clinty et al. researchsquare.com/article/rs-372…

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.

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…
