China is at war with chikungunya virus.

Drones have been deployed to id mosquito breeding sites. Researchers introduced giant “elephant mosquitoes." Their larvae prey on other mosquitoes that carry the virus.

it appears your low-hanging-fruit phd project wasn't so risk free after all, mr. bond

[World Mosquito Program (WMP) @MosquitoProgram]

Here's a mind-blowing fact: 3,500+ mosquito species exist, but Aedes aegypti is the PRIMARY vector spreading most #dengue, #Zika & #chikungunya globally.

Our Wolbachia method targets this main threat, protecting 13.5M people. It's why we exist.

Culex pipiens, the northern house mosquito, is a vector of West Nile virus and prefers biting birds. Their larvae can be found in water sources with high organic content and temporary water sources that ranges from mildly to grossly polluted (yuck). #AMCA #Culex

[Olivia Goldman PhD @oliwiagoldman]

I am thrilled to present the Mosquito Cell Atlas! We analyzed 367K nuclei from 19 tissues in male & female mosquitoes, creating a comprehensive resource for vector biology & infectious disease research.

Plus we made some surprising discoveries! 🦟🧵

The Trump administration is preparing an executive order that would halt federal funding, at least temporarily, for a kind of research into viruses that makes the pathogens more dangerous or contagious https://t.co/glM8JKJzjV with @l_e_whyte

Ever joined a new lab and felt that not knowing where/what stuff is was holding your research back? Yeah, same.

Kudos to Kage & Taylor from our lab for a beautiful piece in @TrendsBiochem highlighting how lab inventory systems support independence.
