Our new #PaluSeq project to establish #malaria molecular surveillance capacity in DR #Congo officially launched yesterday! Thanks @gatesfoundation and PNLP for supporting this important work. @EsteeTorok – at Democratic Republic of Congo
Great having you with us in Kinshasa @EsteeTorok. Thanks to @gatesfoundation for supporting our work in the DRC. Nous sommes ensemble !

Thrilled to work together to investigate emerging drug-resistant #malaria strains in #Ethiopia with partners @EPHIEthiopia as well as @JBaileyOmics @NotreDame @ICE_Malaria @uncglobalhealth.

📢Please share: #TarHealTuesday is one week away! Join us as we fundraise for #infectious #disease patients in need. One grateful patient has offered to match all ID gifts up to $2,500! ➡️ go.unc.edu/Giving-Link @uncglobalhealth @EliArant @WeimingTang3 @SenaChat
Thanks @uncglobalhealth & @TheLancet for featuring our commentary. @KThriemer et al released results of a multi-country RCT showing efficacy of linking vivax radical cure to falciparum #malaria treatment. Findings relevant to countries affected by both parasite spp.
@AshenafiA
Ashenafi Assefa and @jonbparr @IDEELlabs assess the pros and cons of a new strategy to simplify #malaria treatment, both published in @TheLancet

Great to work with you on this, @AshenafiA, and to see creative approaches being developed to help #endmalaria. @uncglobalhealth @IDEELlabs @EPHIEthiopia

I have engaged in discussions surrounding radical cure by Premaquine, G6PD testing, and their programmatic implications for several years in my career. It is with humility that I/we reflect on this issue in light of the outstanding work published on Nov.15
Nice work @deusishe @AlfredoMayor5, Josh, and Bob! Important and easy to digest.
🚨Publication alert!
“Sampling for malaria molecular surveillance” was just published in @TrendsParasitol. This review unpacks the essentials for robust malaria molecular surveillance (MMS) study design with a focus on the sampling approach [1/5]

A big thanks to all who supported us to get to this important milestone. Please enjoy our new paper which is finally out. We show presence of resistant malaria parasites and a new type of these parasites in Tanzania🇹🇿. @nimrmsmt @EsteeTorok @jennifergardy medrxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… – at Kampala, Uganda

IGHID attracts people driven to make big change! From principal investigators and grant managers to regulatory specialists and study coordinators, everyone has an important role to play in what we do. Meet researchers in the IDEEL Lab: go.unc.edu/IAMIGHID-IDEELIST…
Thanks @uncglobalhealth for featuring our work in @IDEELlabs. Such a pleasure to work with this team.

🦟❗ Malaria parasites in Ethiopia are developing resistance to drugs and diagnostics.
Join @malariagenomics on 31 October, 2:30 PM CET for the Malaria Genomic Epidemiology Journal Club with @abebe_fola from @BrownUniversity.

NEW PUBLICATION ALERT 🚨 Describing the Epidemiology of P. malariae and P. ovale spp. in Kinshasa Province, Democratic Republic of Congo led by PhD Student Rachel Sendor. @IDEELlabs @RachelSendor__ @jonbp @uncglobalhealth @GillingsGlobal
nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Just out ! A sobering paper on #malaria in the DR #Congo led by @RachelSendor__, w/ colleagues @esp_unikin.
We set out to eval other species… but I just can’t get over the falciparum rates (>2/3 infected!) DRC needs sustained support to #Endmalaria.

Thanks @uncglobalhealth for featuring our recent @NatureMicrobiol paper led by @abebe_fola on #malaria parasites capable of escaping first-line drugs & diagnostics in Ethiopia.

Paper here: nature.com/articles/s41564-0… @IDEELlabs @EPHIEthiopia @JBaileyOmics
Wholeheartedly agree. Thanks @ASTMH for bringing us together. These types of meetings and connections are invaluable. #TropMed23
One peculiarity of Tropmed is that it gives the opportunity for colleagues in different walks of life and space but similar interests sit together to discuss burning and common issues: MOH, EPHI, UNC,Brown and CDPH.@FMoHealth @EPHIEthiopia @IDEELlabs @ASTMH @jonbparr @EsteeTorok

Out now in @TrendsParasitol 📄
Read about the opportunities and challenges in deploying nanopore sequencing technologies for #malaria molecular surveillance in endemic settings.

Only Bob Verity from @ImperialMalaria can keep an entire room engaged during a talk on statistical power.
Great talk on #malaria study sample sizes at the @gatesfoundation malaria genomics convening in Dakar.
Important article just out in @NEJM describing increasing numbers of #malaria parasites with resistance to first-line drugs in Eritrea.

These and our findings in Ethiopia are cause for concern in the Horn of Africa.
