Green spaces provide a better urban climate, because the soil is not sealed here. The leaves of plants also help to balance the temperature and improve air quality by absorbing and filtering air pollutants and dust. The plants bind CO2 and contribute to climate protection💚🌳🌲🍀

Here we show that Stomoxys species complex, similar to tsetse flies, mechanically transmit trypanosomes to healthy mouse within 60 seconds of contact with infected mouse model.

🧬 Groundbreaking pest control: Scientists create "toxic male" insects that reduce female populations faster than traditional methods. Could help fight disease-carrying bugs like mosquitoes!

Our Toxic Male Technique (TMT) paper is finally out! TMT males produce insecticidal semen to eliminate the female population. It's the first example of intragenerational genetic biocontrol. Use in mosquitoes could dramatically reduce bloodmeals.

MALARIA:
Microplastics linked to insecticide resistance in mosquitoes

Did you know? Microplastics (MPs) are not just harming the environment, they are also making malaria control harder. 🔬 🦟🌍

A new study by @UdsmOfficial, @StirUni, and @Ifakarahealth shows MPs increase insecticide resistance in Anopheles gambiae s.s., the primary malaria vector. The scientists found that MPs in mosquito breeding sites:

📉 Reduce insecticide efficacy.
🧬 Trigger genetic and biochemical adaptations in mosquitoes.
🌱 Accelerate insecticide resistance over generations.

The study calls for urgent field studies to reduce pollution & strengthen control programs.
