We've been extremely busy this year, out now on the 4th annual time point for @SchistoTrack, focusing on helping participants get the care they need.

The latest SBIDER seminar was by @WarwickComplex PhD student @mel95iac on "Mathematical models of malaria: the importance of biological realism and the effects of insecticide resistance".
For more on the topic, see a recent @PLOSCompBiol publication: doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi…

Event news: Group member & @WarwickComplex PhD student @mel95iac is presenting work at #TropMed22 on malaria modelling to explore the impact of control interventions on insecticide-resistant mosquitoes.
Visit Poster Number 403 in Session A to find out more.

In this paper, Iacovidou and colleagues formulate a model that includes age-dependent mortality rates, an important parameter in vector control since control strategies most commonly aim to reduce the lifespan of the mosquitoes.

On penultimate day of #ecmtb2022 #smb2022, group member @EdMHill is presenting collaborative work with @JuniperConsort1 on "Possible future waves of SARS-CoV-2 infection generated by variants of concern with a range of characteristics".
Talk at 16:55-17:20 in BioQuant SR41.
Great to be at the @ecmtb2022 @smb__2022 conference this week!
Presenting 16:55-17:20, Thurs 22 Sep during minisymposia on "Multi-scale and data-driven modeling approaches in ecology, immunology, and epidemiology".

The penultimate presentation from the ‘Predicting chemical properties of compounds from their molecular structure with machine learning’ group!

And now to Session 5 Talk 4 of the #WomenInMalaria conference (& featuring former lab neighbour of mine at Penn State!): Melissa Alexis Iacovidou of @warwickuni discusses "Modelling age-dependent mosquito mortality to quantify the potential of #malaria transmission."

Fascinating mathematical epidemiology from @mel95iac, showing that despite mosquitoes being insecticide resistant, vectorial capacity is reduced significantly between mosquitoes exposed to LLINs and controls. & vectorial capacity is very much mosquito age-dependent!
