Understanding mosquito biting patterns is important to manage vector-borne disease risk. This study found most malaria-infected mosquito feeding was on 6-15 year olds. https://t.co/d6uNEUYlnO

Male Toxorhynchites speciosus. One of Australia’s largest mosquitoes. Lots of time for pics when on hold with Payroll.

[Dr. Jonathan Darbro, Public Health Entomologist @JDarbro]

@epiphanyengine I get it. I’ve spent almost a third of my life living in Australia. Pretty good for an initial three-year fellowship!

@dggoldst I once had a significant, but minuscule, mortality difference between control and treatment groups, so my progress report displayed a graph with a y-axis between 95 and 100%. It feels good to get that off my chest!

@americanbeetles I’ve tried answering “the unnameable!” on taxonomy tests, but no luck.

[Dr. Jonathan Darbro, Public Health Entomologist @JDarbro]

@americanbeetles As an Illinois kid living in Queensland, I agree!!!

@dggoldst Better than best: randomly assign researchers

We also tested transfluthrin candles in tents several years back—they kept mosquitoes out well. https://t.co/YYWh10V3g7

Today is #WorldNTDDay

Outbreaks of #dengue across Pacific Island countries and areas (PICs) have been increasing in frequency and scale.

Incredible progress is being made to #BeatNTDs, but more work is needed, we must be #100percentCommitted to free the world of NTDs.

Tom Waits and insects are two of my favourite things. Synergy.

Didn't think I could love Tom Waits any more until I discovered that he has a whole song dedicated to cool insect behaviors. Amazing! 🪲🐞🐜🦗🪳🕷️
