Sugar feeding by mosquitoes blocks an initial infection of an arbovirus and lowers infection prevalence and intensity, thereby decreasing the potential of female mosquitoes to transmit these viruses

The 9th #PAMCA Conference #GeneDrive Short Course is now #open for #application. This is a 3-day course open to African graduate students & health professionals designed to provide basic technical understanding of gene drive technologies. Apply here: lnkd.in/ecCZcQ68

Can attractive targeted sugar baits (ATSBs) attract more mosquitoes than natural flowers? Our new paper says they can! Whether this can translate to reduced malaria transmission remains the big question. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… Kenya Medical Research Institute LSTM Vector Biology IVCC
