I am thrilled to share our latest preprint on HPAI H5N1 genotypic diversity in North America. Thank you to the fabulous co-authors and collaborators on this project! #H5N1 #Birdflu preprints.org/manuscript/202…

Genotypic Clustering of H5N1 Avian Influenza Viruses Detected in North America

The introduction of HPAI H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b viruses to North America in late 2021 resulted in avian influenza outbreaks in poultry, mortality events in many wild bird species, and spillover into...

Excited to share the latest preprint from the lab in which we made trangenic mosquitoes that express various immune cell markers and use cutting-edge flow cytometry techniques to examine mosquito immune cell populations! Awesome work from @samantsidis! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Exploring new dimensions of immune cell biology in Anopheles gambiae through genetic immunophenot...

Mosquito immune cells, or hemocytes, are integral components of the innate immune responses that define vector competence. However, the lack of genetic resources has limited their characterization...

@AfricaCDC congratulates #Egypt for achieving official malaria-free certification from the World Health Organization. This remarakable achievement inspires hope for other @_AfricanUnion member states still fighting malaria, emphasizing the crucial role of effective vector control, strong healthcare systems, and cross border collaboration. Egypt stands as a powerful reminder that, through unified efforts, a malaria-free Africa is possible! #MalariaElimination #PublicHealth #AfricaHealth #ZeroMalaria #MalariaFree #EgyptHealthAchievement #HealthForAll #AfricanHealthLeadership #MalariaElimination #UniversalHealthCoverage #HealthSystems #CrossBorderCollaboration
