Meet the ‘princess’ mosquito 👑 🦟 LSHTM establishes UK’s first laboratory colony of Aedes vexans, a mosquito that's very 'high maintenance' Find out how this pioneering research is helping to protect the UK from disease threats as our climate changes 👉 www.lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/n...

New study led by Dr Fitsum Tadese and colleagues found a 98.6% cure rate for first-line malaria treatment in Djibouti, with no evidence of artemisinin resistance. The study provides an important baseline for ongoing monitoring of antimalarial drug efficacy and resistance Read more 👉 bit.ly/4h6ODV0

New studies led by Dr Fitsum Tadese and colleagues show first-line malaria treatments remain highly effective in Ethiopia, while a newer combination could help cut Plasmodium vivax transmission. Read more 👉 www.lshtm.ac.uk/research/cen...
