Happy to contribute to this magazine, being delivered to over 14,000 homes in Lincolnshire this month 🙏 A great #lymeawareness opportunity which we hope will be of use to those local families this summer.

We've LSTM Vector Biology just received notification of funding from the Wellcome for a transdisciplinary study of the origins and epidemiological importance of Anopheles stephensi in Sudan and Ethiopia. We will be advertising for a diverse array of roles shortly (1/3)

Delighted to announce this award and with the help of all our collaborators will focus on schistosome hybrids in Central Africa Global Schistosomiasis Alliance

Map giveaway time! I'm going to give one person a 'My Favourite Square' print of their choice. If you'd like to enter please RT and follow, and I will pick at random winner on Thursday afternoon (BST). The whole collection can be found here middleearthsmaps.com/collections/my… Good luck!

Please RT We are hiring!! We have a new PDRA post working in Covid-19 diagnostic evaluations. Impactful work and a friendly group lstmed.ac.uk/post-doctoral-…

Hot off the press! Check out this paper from our @GalaGarrod on identification of #Trypanosoma in vectors. #tsetse #qPCR #laboratory #vector

Meanwhile in #DRCongo, the teams have been busy completing baseline entomological surveys of new intervention areas, as well as monitoring our existing ones. #entomology #vector #Control #RDCongo #PNLTHA #LAV #tsetse #NTDs #MaladieDuSommeil #SleepingSickness #HAT

An exciting development for our professional-use #COVID19 Rapid Antigen Test, which has been certified with a CE mark, following assessment by @LSTMNews. The test will provide an accurate detection of #SARSCoV2 in respiratory swabs, within 10 minutes. mologic.co.uk/mologic-receiv…

Tsetse flies are highly susceptible to killing by nitisinone, a tyrosine catabolism inhibitor used to treat metabolic diseases; this environment-friendly drug could help eliminate #trypanosomiasis & other diseases @aacostaserrano @kinetobites #PLOSBiology plos.io/3qXKOVc

The deployment of #TinyTargets in #riverine #tsetse #habitat for #vector #control of #SleepingSickness in #DRCongo continues. 18,589 targets and counting this round! Go team! #RDCongo #DRC #RDC #MaladieDuSommeil #NTDs #LAV #PNLTHA #transmission #elimination #friyay

We are excited to announce that we are awarding our first ever research grant to LSTM, for a project that aims to pilot a more sensitive and accurate diagnostic test in early and late stage #Lyme. Read more about it in our blog: caudwelllyme.com/research-updat…

I can't wait to start on my first research award looking into the use of iPCR as a diagnostic for Lyme disease, a first for myself, Caudwell LymeCo and LSTM! caudwelllyme.com/research-updat…

Exciting times ahead, looking forward to working alongside my collaborators and very thankful to Caudwell LymeCo for funding the project! lstmed.ac.uk/news-events/ne…’s-dr-lucas-cunningham-receives-funding-from-caudwell-lymeco-charity-to-develop

HUGS investigates hybrid schistosomes in Malawi following on from our @PLOS_NTDs journals.plos.org/plosntds/artic… and ISNTD seminar youtube.com/watch?v=a3GhkC…

Today we had our final pre-trip planning meeting. Next week Malawi-UK teams join forces to conduct pilot activities in Mangochi & Nsanje Districts, setting up future field surveillance sites and first formal community engagements - more next week

First day out and about in Mangochi inspecting abattoir material then snail collecting - with ?Shaematobium found in local Bulinus.

We have recently streamlined day-to-operations at Caudwell LymeCo. Here's the latest on the charity's current focus. Thank you all for your support in the battle against #LymeDisease. We look forward to sharing research updates with you soon.
