Only Bob Verity from Malaria Modellers can keep an entire room engaged during a talk on statistical power. Great talk on #malaria study sample sizes at the Gates Foundation malaria genomics convening in Dakar.


Out now in Trends in Parasitology 📄 Read about the opportunities and challenges in deploying nanopore sequencing technologies for #malaria molecular surveillance in endemic settings.

🦟❗ Malaria parasites in Ethiopia are developing resistance to drugs and diagnostics. Join MalariaGEN on 31 October, 2:30 PM CET for the Malaria Genomic Epidemiology Journal Club with Abebe Alemu Fola (PhD) from Brown University. Register: ow.ly/uNOI50Q074N


Just out ! A sobering paper on #malaria in the DR #Congo led by Rachel S., w/ colleagues École de Santé Publique (ESP) Kinshasa. We set out to eval other species… but I just can’t get over the falciparum rates (>2/3 infected!) DRC needs sustained support to #Endmalaria. nature.com/articles/s4146…


Congrats to Dr. Jessica Lin who will study human mobility and its impact on the elimination of #malaria in #Zanzibar as a 2023-2024 Radio Tatras Int. University Scholar.➡️ go.unc.edu/JessicaLin-RTI




A big thanks to all who supported us to get to this important milestone. Please enjoy our new paper which is finally out. We show presence of resistant malaria parasites and a new type of these parasites in Tanzania🇹🇿. MSMT Estée Torok Jennifer Gardy medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Nice work Deus Ishengoma Alfredo Mayor, Josh, and Bob! Important and easy to digest.

Great to work with you on this, Ashenafi Assefa, and to see creative approaches being developed to help #endmalaria. Institute for Global Health & Infectious Diseases IDEEL Ethiopian Public Health Institute

Thanks Institute for Global Health & Infectious Diseases & The Lancet for featuring our commentary. Kamala Thriemer et al released results of a multi-country RCT showing efficacy of linking vivax radical cure to falciparum #malaria treatment. Findings relevant to countries affected by both parasite spp. Ashenafi Assefa

📢Please share: #TarHealTuesday is one week away! Join us as we fundraise for #infectious #disease patients in need. One grateful patient has offered to match all ID gifts up to $2,500! ➡️ go.unc.edu/Giving-Link Institute for Global Health & Infectious Diseases Elizabeth Arant Weiming Tang Arlene Sena Soberano

Thrilled to work together to investigate emerging drug-resistant #malaria strains in #Ethiopia with partners Ethiopian Public Health Institute as well as Jeff Bailey University of Notre Dame Imperial College Malaria Network Institute for Global Health & Infectious Diseases.

Great having you with us in Kinshasa Estée Torok. Thanks to Gates Foundation for supporting our work in the DRC. Nous sommes ensemble ! Institute for Global Health & Infectious Diseases Jeff Bailey
