What does it actually mean to say climate change is affecting infectious disease? It sounds simple, but a great new review in Nature Medicine by @rebaker.bsky.social, @jessmetcalf.bsky.social and team breaks down 3 very different questions often bundled together: 📄 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Climate change and infectious diseases - Nature Medicine

This Review examines how climate variables affect pathogen transmission, seasonality and outbreak patterns, how these interact with weather extremes and demographic change, and how current data stream...

Our work on rice-fish co-culturing for disease control is out today in Nature Sustainability! rdcu.be/fh2aI We found: 🪱 Children in rice-farming households have higher Schistosoma infections 🐟 Native fish species 🐌 reduce snails and 🌾 increase rice yields by >25%! @rohrecologylab.bsky.social

Rice–fish co-culturing reduces schistosomiasis risk and increases yields and incomes

Nature Sustainability - Rice is a staple food for many households; however, its cultivation can expose farming families to parasitic diseases such as schistosomiasis via freshwater snails. The...

Excited to announce a new Science article, co-authored by Dr. Rohr! In this work, Rohr and collaborators show that chronic, low-dose exposure to chlorpyrifos, a widely used insecticide, speeds up aging in a common lake fish by shortening its telomeres, thus leading to premature death. Check it out!

Chronic low-dose exposure to chlorpyrifos reduces life span in a wild fish by accelerating aging

Low concentrations of chemicals are widespread in the environment, but exploration of the effects of their chronic exposures on animal life span in the wild is limited. Field investigations showed tha...

We are thrilled to announce a new comment article in The Lancet, co-authored by Dr. Rohr! In this comment, Rohr and colleagues highlight the intrinsic connection between Earth system stability/resilience and planetary health. Check out the full-length piece using the link below!

Connecting planetary boundaries and planetary health: a resilient and stable Earth system is crucial for human health

Earth system scientists developed the planetary boundaries framework for measuring and tracking the stability and resilience of the Earth system.1 The framework quantifies safe boundary levels for nin...

Thrilled to share my first first author publication, out now in @plosglobalpublichealth.org! We detected Schistosoma-snails in rice fields and tested some key native fish for predation of snails… & more coming soon 👀 @rohrecologylab.bsky.social journals.plos.org/globalpublic...

Human Schistosoma exposure risk in rice fields and an exploration of fish species for snail and schistosomiasis biocontrol

Schistosomiasis is a devastating parasitic disease in which the infectious stage to humans is released by intermediate host snails. The Senegal River Basin (SRB) is a high-risk area for both urogenita...
