A huge thank you to the ACREME x MSP Planning Committee, led by the wonderful Sarah Cassidy-Seyoum! 👏It takes a huge amount of work behind the scenes to make an event like this happen, and it’s been fantastic seeing everyone’s time, ideas and energy come together to make it such a success. #Darwin27

After 2 fantastic days of discussions and networking, we’re closing out the meeting with three thought-provoking deep dives exploring: 🌍 Climate impacts & global change and malaria 🦟 New vector control interventions 🤖 Machine learning vs AI Thank you to everyone who joined👏🏼

✨ After a packed day of presentations, discussions and interactive activities, it was great to see attendees enjoying some well-deserved time to network, reconnect and socialise with colleagues 🤝 A fantastic way to finish the first day!

Day 1 of the ACREME x MSP Annual Meeting is underway (Tue 6 Oct)! We’ve kicked off two days of collaboration, connection and knowledge-sharing, welcoming our partners from across Australia to Melbourne. #Malaria #MalariaResearch #MalariaElimination #GlobalHealth #ResearchCollaboration

A promising merozoite vaccine candidate is Merozoite Surface Protein 2 (PfMSP2). Antibodies to PfMSP2 can promote multiple antibody Fc-mediated functional activities to clear merozoites. www.frontiersin.org/journals/imm...

In this study, researchers sought to explore the use of a serological biomarker of Anopheles spp. biting exposure as an outcome in a trial of topical repellent in Southeast Myanmar. 🔗 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #Malaria #GlobalHealth #MalariaElimination #Tropicalrepellent

The diagnostic accuracy of currently deployed malaria RDTs in Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) was evaluated to inform appropriate deployment of testing strategies in an elimination context. link.springer.com/article/10.1... #Malaria @freyafowkes.bsky.social @burnetinstitute.bsky.social

Primaquine is widely used to prevent relapses of P.vivax malaria, but the optimal dose in Latin America is unknown. Researchers undertook a systematic review and individual patient data meta-analysis to investigate the safety of different primaquine dosing regimens shorturl.at/Pc1mF #Malaria

In chronic Pv infection, the spleen accounts for over 98% of total-body parasite biomass. Whether splenic tropism also occurs in acute infection and how the spleen influences pathogenesis have not been systematically explored. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

This study explores treatment-seeking behaviours, perceptions of malaria, and experiences of research participation among community members in the catchment area of a rural research clinic run by the MORU in Siem Pang district, Cambodia. ➡️ link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Quantifying antibodies against P. vivax enables the detection of both recent and past P. vivax exposure and may help identify individuals with clinically silent hypnozoite infections. Read the latest findings: verixiv.org/articles/3-2...

Malaria doesn’t stop at national borders. Our work in #Cambodia, #LaoPDR & #Vietnam is supporting mobile/migrant populations in remote forested border regions by training volunteers, delivering mobile #malaria services & enabling real-time reporting. ➡️ www.malariaconsortium.org/blog/why-bor...
