Glad this is finally out. Using pharmacokinetic modeling we show that #nitisinone, an FDA-approved drug 4 #Tyrosinemia & #Alkaptonuria, kills #Anopheles mosquitoes, outperforming #Ivermectin. Grateful to all primary author’s & fantastic collaborators!

Great. But to be clear @NIH@NIAIDNews @NIHDirector turned their collective backs on this globally important resource and now we are left to pick up the pieces by holding bake sales / car washes to keep it live. The precarity of this critical resource is still huge.
pay attention please, all of those who have done functional genomics courses with me and @pamcafrica and @TReNDinAfrica - if you have significant genomics experience then these are a great opportunity for you
Only 5 more days! Every morning I am reminded that @VectorBase is going away! @NIAIDFunding what were you thinking?!? This resource is critical to so many research labs. MUVE_ESA @ACME_ASTMH
PhD students from IRSS in Burkina Faso have worked with @LSTMnews vector biologists to generate a transgenic mosquito.
The partnership, funded by the @gatesfoundation, is designed to build capacity in molecular biology and genetic control of mosquitoes in Burkina Faso.
I was almost a week premature when I announced this previously and the link was broken. It's open now https://t.co/VZWMjh2ddB "Video-tracked Anopheles arabiensis entry and exit behaviour at washed
and damaged pyrethroid- treated bednets". I hope you find it useful
