Happy to share our work on phenotypic and genotypic insecticide resistance of malaria vectors in Coastal Kenya. Compared to 2017, resistance is increasing and is now present in main species. Evidence supports the use of PBO nets.

Check out our latest paper on MALDI-TOF MS for age grading of malaria vectors. We show that this approach can successfully predict parity of wild mosquitoes with over 80% accuracy #KEMRI_Wellcome @mercytuweij .

“Trump administration to end funding for childhood vaccines in world's poorest countries”. This decision will affect the poorest children of the world, but will also increase disease risk to US citizens. Vaccines save lives and prevent disease spread!

Malaria vectors in Mopeia, Mozambique were found resistant to all classes of insecticides used in malaria control. New insecticide classes or non-insecticide-based tools are urgently needed. #KEMRI_Wellcome #CISM #BOHEMIA_Project.

How many female independent researchers have been asked at meetings “who is your PI?” Or “who do you work with?” Is this just me or is this a systemic problem?.

Single-dose ivermectin (400ug/Kg) affords non-inferior mosquitocidal effect compared to 3-day regimen. A single-dose approach has operational advantages for MDA campaigns against malaria vectors, lower cost, and higher adherence. #BOHEMIA #KEMRI_Wellcome
