Cerebral #malaria and severe malarial anemia have very different clinical presentations 🦟. But new research using omics approaches finds that both types may begin with a common inflammatory trigger.

We are thrilled to celebrate the @WHO declaration of Timor-Leste as malaria free! The Asian country becomes the 47th country in the world to eliminate #malaria. The Congratulations to the people and the public health professionals of Timor-Leste! 🇹🇱.

"These mosquitoes will spread on their own and gradually transform the malaria-transmitting mosquito population to one that cannot transmit malaria." @JohnsHopkinsSPH prof George Dimopoulos.

George Dimopoulos of the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute, and colleagues at @UCSD today published a study in @Nature Open Access detailing their work to genetically modify #mosquitoes to prevent transmission of #malaria.

This week, @Genome_Jane and others from Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute spent time with research scientists in Ethiopia, planning expanded field research aimed at eradicating #malaria, which is responsible for more than 600K deaths each year, mostly children under 5.

Although severe #malaria presents in different clinical forms – such as cerebral malaria or severe malarial anemia – a new study reveals that all severe cases have one thing in common: a shared inflammatory signature.

Why does Johns Hopkins entomologist Chris Kizito oversee the production of 2.6 million mosquitoes a year? His work is part of the Malaria Research Institute's efforts to knock out #malaria in countries like Kizito's native Uganda.

After more than 70 years of eradication efforts, Suriname has eliminated #malaria, according to the World Health Organization. The South American country becomes the 46th nation/territory — & the 12th in the region of the Americas — to be certified malaria-free by the WHO. 1/2.

All of us at the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute celebrate Suriname, its people and its Ministry of Health on this monumental achievement! Congratulations, Suriname! No more #malaria! 2/2.

On today's podcast, Dr. Alexandra Probst (Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health) discusses a breakthrough in #malaria prevention: bed nets coated with anti-parasitic drugs that stop transmission by curing infected mosquitoes 🦟.

Congratulations to JHMRI faculty @apwez, Chris Potter, and @Genome_Jane (with @SpanglerLab) for being awarded 'Discovery' and 'Catalyst' awards from Johns Hopkins to advance cutting-edge science toward a #malaria-free world!. @JohnsHopkinsSPH @JohnsHopkinsEPI @HopkinsMedicine.

On today's Malaria Minute podcast, how next-generation bed nets could stop #malaria by killing the parasites inside mosquitoes, not just the mosquitoes themselves 🦟.

In our latest podcast, Lemu Golassa @AAU_Official explains how parasite diversity in Ethiopia could limit the effectiveness of current #malaria vaccines 💉.

"The malaria map is shrinking. With vaccines, gene editing, and African nations stepping up, we can eliminate #malaria. But urgency is critical; retreating now would waste decades of progress.". @Genome_Jane reflects on #malaria progress in @SciDevNet.

A recent study in Ethiopia reveals that local #malaria parasite strains differ genetically from those targeted by current vaccines, potentially reducing their effectiveness 💉.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2025 #WorldMalariaDay Symposium, Building a Better Mosquito! 🦟. Stay tuned for Vector Encounter—our upcoming two-day event on arthropod disease vectors impacting human health. @JohnsHopkinsSPH @Genome_Jane .
