[WHO African Region @WHOAFRO]

Nearly 2 million children have been reached with the 1st #malaria vaccine through 4 years of pilot intros in #Ghana🇬🇭, #Kenya🇰🇪 & #Malawi🇲🇼. The vaccine is having high impact, substantially reducing severe malaria & child deaths. Watch Grace's story👇🏿https://t.co/Hm97FONJJF

Today @WHO launched the https://t.co/suOW51QJQR where key global, regional & national malaria results are reported for the period 2000-2021, across for main themes: response, risks, resilience and research. Grateful to countries, colleagues & partners who contributed to WMR2022.

WHO recently published preferred product characteristics for #malaria #vaccines.
In addition to RTS,S/AS01, a healthy market of new and improved vaccines will be vital in our efforts to reduce the global malaria burden and achieve elimination.

Pleased to announce we've worked with @unisontheunion, @unitetheunion & @lshtmUCU to bring our outsourced cleaning & security staff in-house.

We want LSHTM to be a great place to work & study for all. Thank you to everyone who helped us reach this decision. 🙏

Some options like https://t.co/mYbZ2DMIvm. Other suggestions for higher volume non- microtainer blood collection?

[Bryan Greenhouse @bgreenhouse1]

Question re: field sample of capillary blood for DNA (plasmodium if it matters): if getting >100ul and you can't use a microtainer, has anyone had experience using anything better (yield) than just putting as many DBS on Whatman 3MM as you can? @TeunBousema @ChrisDrakeley

The most important people in your life aren't always the ones you know the best or like the most.

They're the people who see your potential and help you reach it.

Who restore your faith in humanity when it's shaken.

Who care enough to lift you up even when they're down.

Mosquitoes need plant-derived sugars and carbohydrates to maintain energy for survival. This presents an opportunity to bait the sugar feeding process with a toxicant. Learn more about ATSB as a #vectorcontrol tool for #malaria eradication: https://t.co/vrAc6ZVhhj
