@HaringeyCyclist @ContactHaringey car parked in the middle of the nice new cycle lane south bound on green lanes. Do we need some no parking signs?

Delayed treatment of uncomplicated malaria increases odds of severe malarial anaemia in children, with an OR of 2.79 for a delay of 2–3 days and 5.46 for a delay of >7 days. An estimated 42.8% of childhood SMA cases could be averted by prompt treatment. https://t.co/lB9u75YiLm

We're excited to see the launch of the International Repository of Malaria Research, a thematic repository indexing 190k scholarly articles on #malaria with over 80K #openaccess. Great work, @WeAre1science and @ScienceMetrix!

Take a look: https://t.co/Gtwk0D9MbT

Excellent article from Wellcome Genome Campus on how they are getting their conferences gender balanced - I saw this in action at #GEM18, great work! @wellcomegenome https://t.co/NWWkiI6dvC

[Imperial_Africa @Imperial_ICCARE]

Attend the upcoming seminar from @ICE_Malaria on 8 June where Prof Chris Drakeley presents on @LSHTM_malaria's research project, MONKEYBAR. Register now https://t.co/WFTDzq74Cv

Great work from @HarvardChanSPH: Nets & education halved the odds of fever in Namibian children, but their reductions were doubled if nearby Angolan villages also participated in the program. Malaria elimination will be achieved regionally, or not at all. https://t.co/852pUBE2b5

[Zero Malaria Britain @ZeroMalariaGB]

The entire population of Nigeria is at risk of #malaria - training members of local communities to deliver life-saving #malaria care is vital in the fight against malaria. Together #ourCommonwealth is #ReadyToBeatMalaria. #MalariaMustDie https://t.co/2GIVzXK7Aj

[Malaria Modellers @ImperialMalaria]

Out now - Excellent work by Marshall et al on modelling human mobility of relevance to malaria transmission in Africa in @Scientific Reports https://t.co/40x9vyNF1l @@azraghani @ImperialMalaria @ICE_Malaria #MalariaMustDie

Here’s our in-depth analysis of insecticide resistance adaptations in the voltage-gated sodium channel gene in An. gambiae and An. coluzzii from Ag1000G phase 1, huge thanks @c_s_clarkson for seeing this through. Comments very welcome: https://t.co/aHYiFPPwyY

There are serious consequences to changes in the ecosystem, as new research published in #Science by @simonohanlon101, a researcher @MRC_Outbreak, suggests that the killer fungus currently ravaging global amphibian populations originated in East Asia. https://t.co/wpuD8Ux3ZS
