  1. The number one killer on Earth " Mosquitoes"

    Mosquitoes now have their own World Mosquito Day, which falls on August 20th of each year, commemorating the date in 1897 when British mycologist Ronald Ross discovered that Anopheles mosquitoes transmit malaria.

  2. Protein landscape of the chromatin domains in the #malaria parasite #Plasmodium falciparum.

    Comprehensive proteomic mapping of P. falciparum chromatin identifies 214 proteins, revealing novel #epigenetic regulators.

  3. New research offers a more precise way to map malaria transmission across Senegal.

    Using anonymised health-facility data, environmental factors and travel times, researchers created 1 km-resolution maps showing how malaria risk varies between urban and rural areas.

    The findings could help governments target bed nets, treatments and healthcare resources where they are most needed.

  4. An Invasive #Mosquito Is Spreading With Alarming Speed, Threatening #Africa’s Cities
    The #malaria-carrying mosquito is resistant to all #insecticides.
    Genomic analysis of the mosquito, called Anopheles stephensi, using specimens collected from 10 countries, showed those found in Africa had genetic resistance to all of the chemicals currently used in spraying campaigns and other mosquito-control efforts, meaning those insecticides will not kill it.

  5. Climate change is poised to expose more people to malaria in cooler parts of Africa by the end of the century, with cases potentially rising as much as 20% in coastal southern Africa, according to a new study. japantimes.co.jp/environment/2 #environment #climatechange #climatechange #africa #malaria #mosquitoes

  6. Here on mastodon, every day, there are dozens of posts about the evil of AI data centers

    without getting into a debate about how evil AI DCs are, I would say that in terms of real human suffering, today, malaria has to be 10 or 100x worse then datacenters

    and do we hear anything about malaria ?
    no

  10. I’m not really a cat person anymore… but if I have to choose between the massive patches of #mosquito bites these mosquitoes seem to cause nowadays and having every cat in the neighbourhood chase after me, I’m definitely choosing the cats.

  12. Ancient DNA reveals malaria killed the Medici brothers, not poison

    A new DNA study of two Renaissance members of the Medici family has confirmed malaria, not poison, killed Grand Duke Francesco I de’ Medici in 1587. The research also found a previously unknown strain of the parasite behind the deadliest form of malaria, giving scientists new clues about how the disease spread across Europe...

  13. Jährlich fordert #Malaria mehr als 600.000 Todesopfer & bleibt eine Herausforderung für die #Infektionsforschung. #ArteTV dokumentiert einen wichtigen Schritt gegen die Krankheit, die Entwicklung des Impfstoffs "R21/Matrix-M" mit einer Wirksamkeit bis zu 75 Prozent. arte.tv/de/videos/116075-000-A

  14. "Dr Simon Scofield, a senior lecturer at Cardiff University, said: “We found that a 6% catnip oil was just as effective [at repelling mosquitos] as Deet, and the 2% catnip oil was only marginally less effective than that."

  15. #Mosquito gene drives for #malaria control can be undermined by rare, hard to detect genetic resistance alleles. This study by Morianou, Hammond, Nolan, Crisanti &co reveals how #CRISPR resistance emerges and how to overcome it, advancing vector control

  17. These results are difficult to explain. How can a malaria-primed memory T-cell pool depleted of Tregs be less effective upon recall than either the same pool containing Tregs or even purified memory Tregs alone?
