“In spaces like this [#HSR2022] where we work and engage we must be very mindful we don’t distance ourselves from the realities on the ground. We need the voices of implementers in this space from the Pacific” - Dr Amerita Ravuvu. Inspiring closing plenary @ HSR2022!! @H_S_Global

It was a pleasure chatting with @beatrice_egid on the @StrivePNG #partnership and community engagement approach adopted when trialing new #vector control tools through the #NATNAT program 🇵🇬🦟 Thanks for having me!
@RachaelFarqua4 shares insights on how to maximise the strengths of working with cross-cultural partnerships. The importance of trust to achieve better outcomes is once again highlighted #HSR2022 Full highlights episode:👂 https://t.co/N140NJLAxd

By coupling P.vivax transcriptomes and invasion phenotypes we have demonstrated that band 3 is an invasion receptor and identified a list of ligand with PvTRAgs top in the list! Hard work from @KatlijnDM and collaboration @KrisLaukens, @IMTAVH_UPCH and @ljr_leanne IMR. 🙌
Proud to have our paper out on P. vivax invasion and band 3, combining phenotypic assays and RNA-Seq data! https://t.co/OoGqQwKOw5
