Excited to share our findings about the malaria blocking microbe, Microsporidia MB! Spoiler alert - it's also sexually transmitted, which could be used to infect mosquitoes and potentially block malaria transmission in the field! #malaria #mosquitoes

Vector control has been heavily commoditized in recent years. Insecticides r widespread. Here Dr. @drannewilson et al call for a return to approaches based on thorough knowledge of pathogen transmission, with both insecticide and non–insecticidal methods: https://t.co/UBU42w49XR

🦟🦟🦟 Scientists @Symbio_Vector @ICIPE led by @JeremyHerren discovered that a microsporidian, Microsporidia MB, can block transmission of #malaria to the #mosquito. Similar to #Wolbachia for #dengue, another #mosquito-borne disease. https://t.co/fcmSqqkHYr via @TC_Africa

Thank you @Fredros_Inc for speaking on this present reality in #globalhealth and highlighting the terrible status quo. We have to acknowledge our role as funders in sustaining this unacceptable status quo, and then work to actively change.

[BMC @BioMedCentral]

A Kenyan based group of researchers have identified a new microsporidian infecting field-caught mosquitoes that inhibits the development of the the malaria parasite. https://t.co/a7EDoMywsB

[Zero Malaria Britain @ZeroMalariaGB]

This single-celled microbe prevents mozzies from catching #malaria - but more research is needed to see if it could be a gamechanger in the fight against the parasite. 🔬 #endmalaria https://t.co/X0NRjQqAVO

So excited to have our work featured in this podcast!

📣"Malaria stopped by microbe
40%+ of mosquitoes🦟in a region must be infected with Microsporidia to make a significant dent in malaria

As @IPBES #GlobalAssessment showed: #nature can help to regulate disease
