Welcome to the world, baby Adam.
We need to ensure Adam and all babies in Gaza can come into this world safely with the care and assistance they and their parents need.
We owe to all the babies in Gaza a safe place to grow up healthy and thrive.
We owe it to all children in the world a place to live in peace.
Ceasefire NOW!
Happy to contribute to and learn from my colleagues at the ASTMH Symposium on Innovations in Modelling and Analytics to Accelerate Development of a New Generation of Malaria Interventions.

Using a Cas9/guide-RNA-based gene drive system, researchers have produced mosquitoes that produce antimalaria antibodies. If released, models suggest the mosquitoes could reduce malaria incidence by roughly 90% within three months. In PNAS: ow.ly/TQLq50P9rGG

A new #CRISPR gene editing approach disrupts a female-essential gene in the malaria-carrying mosquito Anopheles gambiae, and could offer a sustained and confinable way to suppress mosquito populations.

Why do some people have repeated vivax malaria episodes?

Here, we briefly review evidence that human genetic polymorphism and acquired immunity after repeated exposure to parasites can modulate the risk of P. vivax infection and disease in predictable ways.

"D Phillips and B Pereira have been killed in an undeclared global war against nature and the people who defend it. Their work mattered because our planet, the threats to it and the activities of those who threaten it matter. That work must be continued."

Finally out.@nature - Peer reviewed manuscript that describes the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2. Amazing team effort that inverts the way in with science is done! First public health response and only after publication! nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
New paper out in @LancetRH_Americ with M. Ferreira, @igorcavallini, D. Gamboa, A. Rosanas-Urgell, J. Vinetz and other amazing co-authors! We explore the relative contribution of low-density and asymptomatic infections to vivax transmission in the Amazon.
