Celebrating a new publication with lead author @infectiouschill.bsky.social!
This paper explores the use and validation of different species distribution modeling approaches for understanding and predicting Asian tiger mosquito invasion along its northern distribution edge.

We are launching the new URBAN-VECTOR Training Program! Building an India–Africa network to strengthen urban malaria control in Africa through research, training, and collaboration! 🌍🦟

Thank you for an excellent symposium this morning at the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) on building a global initiative to address urban malaria transmission in Africa. Thank you to our speakers and the audience members that joined us early this morning.
We are hosting an exciting symposium at this year's American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) meeting next week in Toronto titled "Malaria in the Metropolis"! This symposium focuses on leveraging international collaboration to control mosquito-borne diseases in cities!
Come see our Urban Malaria Team at the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) 2025 meeting! We have an exciting line-up of talks and posters on the effects of climate, control, urban heterogeneity, and climate change on malaria transmission in cities!
Excited to kickoff the @ASTMH 2025 meeting in Toronto. One day late due to teaching this term, but happy to be in the Presidential Plenary this morning with fellow colleagues discussing the unprecedented threats of global funding cuts on malaria elimination.
NEW: "Ecological and socioeconomic factors associated with globally reported tick-borne viruses", led by @samsambado.bsky.social, in which she applied BRT modelling to a global database of TBVs to pick apart the complicated pathway from transmission to reported cases!

Pleased to have contributed to this one, presented at UNFCC COP meeting in Belem - now published in Global Sustainability.
Don't even start with me on the horrific irony of the timing. We must keep producing evidence and communicating science.
An interdisciplinary, international training initiative designed to build sustainable research capacity in vector-borne and tropical infectious diseases, with a primary focus on urban malaria.
Sambado et al. examine how environmental and social conditions shape where tick-borne viruses are reported worldwide. Using machine learning, they find that both ecological and economic are important, and that wealthier nations are more likely to report these overlooked diseases.
