New study led by @lshtm.bsky.social researchers and international partners reveals how malaria parasites adapt across different regions of the world, offering insights that could help strengthen surveillance and tackle drug resistance. 🌍🦟 Read more 👇 www.lshtm.ac.uk/research/cen...

New @who.int evaluation finds RTS,S malaria vaccination is saving children’s lives in routine immunisation programmes. It estimates 1 in 8 child deaths were averted in high-burden settings. @lshtm.bsky.social experts explain the significance of the findings. 👉 www.lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/n...

New research led @ndeyfa2.bsky.social, a PhD student @lshtm.bsky.social shows #malaria drug resistance isn’t driven by a single mutations but a complex combination of genetic changes that help parasites with legacy mutations survive newer treatments. Read more 👉 bit.ly/49aMu5W

For many, malaria 🦟 is a statistic. For @obetaodinaka.bsky.social, it’s personal. Ahead of #WorldMalariaDay, his story shows why awareness is not enough and why communities must be at the centre of the fight. Read more 👇 www.lshtm.ac.uk/research/cen...

Malaria is a serious illness spread by mosquitoes – and you can catch it from a single bite.🦟 Malaria is common in many tropical parts of the world, so it's worth visiting TravelHealthPro to check country‑specific advice before you go: https://travelhealthpro.org.uk/ #WorldMalariaDay

British-backed science has helped build today’s antimalarial toolbox. Sustained support can get us closer to #ZeroMalaria. UK Parliamentarians explored tools behind progress against #malaria and innovations that can define what’s next at @malarianomoreuk.bsky.social #WorldMalariaDay event.

In celebration of #WorldMalariaDay we bring you the next sketch in our WiM series featuring Krystal Mwesiga Birungi & Dr Federica Bernardini @targetmalaria.org Read more about their work on targetmalaria.org/profiles/spo... & targetmalaria.org/profiles/spo... Sketch: Sophia and Thorey #WIM

Ahead of #WorldMalariaDay, MMV joined @gavi.org, @unitaid.bsky.social and The Global Fund to showcase how the antimalarial toolbox is evolving – from today’s tools to the innovations and strategies that could get us closer to elimination.

Today is #WorldMalariaDay 🦟 Building on last year’s commemoration, the Malaria Centre and partners share a joint commentary calling for sustained investment, stronger collaboration, and renewed political will to #EndMalaria. Read the commentary 👉 bit.ly/42xLrcw

Thank you @lshtm-malaria.bsky.social for the feature! The fight against #malaria is one that requires consistency and determination, the journey to #ZeroMalaria is possible! #ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe
