🌟 Exciting first week for @chancygondwems1👩🏿‍🔬 and @ChisomoNkhoma8👨🏿‍🔬 at @LSTMnews, working with their tsetse colony🪰

They’ve developed skills in fly tissue extraction, ovarian age grading🪰🔬, and tsetse husbandry.
Next week: lab experiments! 🧪🥼

Congratulations Patrick.

[Patrick Ken Kalonde @KalondePatrick]

First time attending an @RSTMH conference, and I gave an oral presentation about my PhD project.

I'm very happy to have received an award for the best oral presentation. I'm told that this award comes with a free one-year membership to the society. I'm so happy

well done team @blessingschiepa et al

[LSTM @LSTMnews]

Research led by @LSTMnews and @MLW_Programme investigating how a huge irrigation scheme may impact vector-borne diseases like malaria and schistosomiasis is featured in this @Channel4News report from Malawi.

Another exciting news from our colleague @clintyMw
@MLW_Programme for winning the Royal Geography society prize for best dissertation in the UK and Ireland.

Well done mate!

Huge congratulations to our partners at @LSTMvector @LSTMnews for the Queens Anniversary prize for the impact of Tiny targets ( tiny traps for controlling sleeping sickness), @TorrSteve

[malawi vector @MalawiVector]

Used car tires or containers around homes/garages could harbor mosquitoes, threatening disease fight. The #SPACES project @MLW_Programme is making entomological surveys of #Aedes breeding grounds around Blantyre Mw. Mosquitoes will be assessed for the presence of arboviruses.

[LSTM @LSTMnews]

We are excited to formally receive the #QAPrize tomorrow, the highest national honour for higher education.
