Our very own Kathleen Neuzil, Director of the Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health, is the 2020 "Marylander of the Year"--chosen by The Baltimore Sun! Dr. Neuzil and the front-line workers also chosen to share this honor both are so deserving. baltimoresun.com/opinion/editor…

#COVID19 has devastated refugees and asylum seekers in U.S. federal detention centers, and the Trump administration has devised a workaround for vaccine distribution that jeopardizes the prospect of immunizing detainees, further endangering this vulnerable population. #IDTwitter

.Matt Cannon David Serre and colleagues present a sequencing-based assay that could significantly improve monitoring of human and animal vector-borne pathogens. In their work, the team characterise a wide-range of eukaryotic parasites and arboviruses: ow.ly/ii8050FG5Ah.

" a method that enriches for [var gene transcript] in clinical samples...requiring minimal processing in the field." This will change the game in our fight against #malaria.
