The @GCRF SPACES project studies public health risks (enteric pathogens and mosquitoes), and agricultural/environmental impacts of plastic pollution in #Africa

The latest @SPACES__Project group paper from the @StirBES team. Here, we show how the #plastisphere can provide protection for pathogenic #Salmonella against UV exposure! Check it out here:

Fantastic talks from Stirling members of the SPACES team at the @MicrobioSoc conference last week!

Yesterday was a great day for @SPACES__Project . We engaged community members on the drone-based aerial mapping that I will be conducting to map urban waste. People appreciated the image-capturing process, saw the captured images, and asked questions. @MlwTrust @LSTMnews

Great work by @Hannah_White1 of the @SPACES__Project discussing the increase of disposable diapers on waste piles in informal settlements #PlasticPollution @StirBES

Latest paper from @SPACES__Project @StirBES looking at the ability of clinically important E. coli strains to persist and retain pathogenicity on plastic waste #plastic #pollution https://t.co/Lkvw46ers6

Great talk!

Looking forward to hearing Rebecca Metcalf from @StirBES presenting her work on pathogen persistence on environmental microplastics #microbio23 (Hall 5; 10:45)

[The SPACES Project @SPACES__Project]

Really enjoyed presenting our recent work on E. coli (@Hannah_White1 ) and Salmonella (@MOrmsby8 ) persistence on environmental plastic waste at #microbio23 annual conference @StirUni

[Michael Ormsby @MOrmsby8]

Come and hear about our latest @SPACES__Project work on the persistence of clinical E. coli (p522) and African Salmonella (p528) on environmental plastics in the #microbio23 poster session tonight!

A little snapshot of one of our current experiments @StirBES looking at the persistence of #pathogens on the surface of different materials.

The @StirUni SPACES team recently visited Malawi and Tanzania to meet with local project partners to discuss the project’s progress and visit key field sites.
