This #WorldMalariaDay, research scientist Prisca Kweyamba highlights the importance of preventing transmission at its source.

Her work focusses on developing transmission-blocking strategies to break the cycle of infection and move us closer to malaria elimination.

[transmissionzero @transm0]

Dickson Lwetoijera highlights how the continent is leading the development of cutting-edge tools, including T0's work on Africa’s first transgenic mosquito.

A powerful reminder that locally led research is central to driving sustainable malaria elimination.
