Glad to have our work with @MbararaUST featured!
Our #Uganda partnership has its first high profile paper! Dr. Emily Ciccone led a study that used a protein measurement to guide antibiotic treatment for children with fever & respiratory symptoms, which decreased unnecessary #antibiotic use by 25%!

Some more publications are coming out from EPHI malaria team TES activities. This is relevant given the current challenge of emerging and spreading antimalarial drug resistance. malariajournal.biomedcentral…

Highly excited to embark on this journey of dissecting drug resistant #malaria parasites in #Ethiopia led by @jonbparr in partnerships with @mferdiglab, @IDEELlabs @JBaileyOmics @EPHIEthiopia
Thrilled to work together to investigate emerging drug-resistant #malaria strains in #Ethiopia with partners @EPHIEthiopia as well as @JBaileyOmics @NotreDame @ICE_Malaria @uncglobalhealth.

Happy to share that our brief report on asymptomatic malaria in Mainland Tanzania in 2021 was just published in Parasites & Vectors. Mostly Pf, but we found Pm and Po in all four regions we surveyed. @IDEELlabs @nimrmsmt @JBaileyOmics @deusishe

My winter escape trip in WestAfrica Part2 (Jan24-Feb13,2024) : I had the pleasure to help set up the first #PromethION2 Nanapore sequencing at #Noguchi,Ghana, and train people to run it independently. Good collaboration between @JBaileyOmics and @AnitaGhansahlab labs. @IDEELlabs

My winter escape trip in West Africa, Part1 (Jan18-23,2024): happy to train an amazing team of young african bioinformaticians at #PDNA, Mali, on the #MIP data analysis. @IDEELlabs @JBaileyOmics @djimdeab
New paper showing an increase in Ehrlichia over time, despite soldiers spending less time at Fort Liberty and introduction of permethrin-treated uniforms, suggesting true increases exposure, consistent with geographic spread of Lone Star ticks: academic.oup.com/jid/advance…

Our new paper confirming artemisinin partial resistance for the first time in Tanzania🇹🇿 is now available online. This is a great milestone for our team and we thank all collaborators and partners for it. @nimrmsmt @IDEELlabs @JBaileyOmics @WHO medrxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… – at Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
