"Questions remain that will require further concerted effort on topics like durability of protection & interaction w other #vaccines" -> Discussing now in our 2018 symposium, as we work collaboratively to address knowledge gaps & ideate ways to fill them #TropMed18#dengue#Aedes
With just one bite, mosquitoes, sandflies, ticks and other vectors can transmit serious diseases such as malaria, dengue, Zika or Japanese encehpalitis.
Follow these simple measures to protect yourself and your family from vector-borne diseases. Let's #BeatNTDs!

Science | Synergy | Communication For the past days, we've gathered global experts in #dengue to discuss research updates & review issues related to the development of dengue #vaccines including the use of #Dengvaxia as we work collaboratively to prevent this disease #tropmed18
NMRC researchers presented the state-of-the-art method they developed to analyze immune response to dengue vaccines during @ASTMH this week @NavyMedicine#TropMed18#NavyMedicine https://t.co/N8OPbdKaz5
#Dengue & #malaria mosquitoes 🦟 lay eggs in water-filled containers inside your house & in surrounding areas. The eggs hatch when in contact with water.
👉 To prevent the spread of diseases, eliminate the breeding sites like puddles, bottles, discarded waste, tyres etc…
You have a crucial role to play to prevent & stop #dengue transmission:
The disease transmitting #mosquitoes 🦟 thrive in areas close to human population.
Help detect & destroy their breeding sites (items that collect water)!
👉 Community participation is 🔑 to dengue prevention
SAGE's working group on #dengue vaccines recently met to discuss the new data & mainly considered 2 vaccination strategies: https://t.co/F90pcAhVF6 [read full discussion in link]. Stay informed on the new data to make evidenced-based & informed decisions --> #knowledgeispower
"#Vaccines are considered one of the greatest advances in modern medicine The global burden of numerous infectious diseases has been significantly reduced, & in some cases, effectively eradicated thru the deployment of specific vaccines" https://t.co/u4csBSDIWa #zika vax progress
The rainy season ⛈ brings with it the potential increase of #mosquitoes in and around your home.
Here's what you can do to prevent mosquitoes from breeding. This will help protect you and your loved ones from #vector-borne diseases such as dengue fever, malaria or chikungunya.
