New paper by NRI scientists @chickpeaman, @framaha & colleagues describes innovative way to identify mosquito plant hosts from ingested nectar. It advances our understanding of vector-insect ecology – with key implications for tackling vector-borne diseases. Check it out ⤵️

We further develop & use some of the new tools for Simulium surveillance & xenomonitoring to show an area of Nigeria that was thought to be free of onchocerciasis may in fact have active transmission; these tools need wider uptake https://t.co/f0f4LjE9KG @NRInstitute @uniosune

Check out our research characterising the distribution, seasonality and ecology of Culex modestus in England: https://t.co/AjFm0ZkDIC Everyone put in lots of hard work, over many years, up and down the country, to get such comprehensive data on what could be a UK vector in future
