.#Malaria has taken more lives than any other disease in human history. But Dr. Photini Sinnis, an expert in the field of diseases transmitted by #mosquitoes, told the @NakedScientists this week that infection is actually kind of a long a shot. 🦟🩸
The latest episode of @NakedScientists podcast is all about the most dangerous creature on earth ... the #mosquito.
@JohnsHopkinsSPH mosquito expert Dr. Conor McMeniman explains how the bugs find people to bite. Hear the whole episode wherever you get your favorite podcasts!
The island of New Guinea - comprising Papua New Guinea and Indonesia’s Papua region - is grappling with a surmountable yet complex #malaria burden, marked by the dual prevalence of both the deadliest and hardest to treat forms of #malaria thriving across shared landscapes. Elimination hinges on established political commitment from both countries, regional health leadership including sustained support from @WHO WPRO and partners, and tailored, inclusive approaches that reflect New Guinea’s unique geography and the needs of its local communities.
