#Malaria continues to claim lives every day🦟 This #WorldMosquitoDay, we are sharing facts about the disease, its vectors, and hearing from experts and researchers working to #endmalaria ➡️ bit.ly/3Aw6j9y Imperial College London Target Malaria transmissionzero Peking University UVRI

Aedes🦟 are a major global health concern due to their role in spreading disease. This #WorldMosquitoDay, hear from researchers sharing facts about these 🦟, the diseases they carry & novel control tools🔬🧬 ➡️ bit.ly/3WPM3XP #EndDengue Peking University

#AedesAegypti 🦟are a known vector of several diseases, including #dengue, #Zika, #chikungunya, and #yellowfever. Weizhe Chen, from the Champer Lab Peking University is working on novel tools to fight this mosquito. 🔬🧬➡️ bit.ly/3WPM3XP Jackson Champer #WorldMosquitoDay

As temperatures rise and weather patterns shift, #AedesAegypti 🦟 are expanding their range, increasing the risk of outbreaks in new regions. Jie Du, Champer Lab Peking University, is working on innovative tools to control these mosquitoes. ➡️bit.ly/3WPM3XP Jackson Champer

#ClimateChange could heighten the threat of #mosquitobornediseases like #malaria🦟 In the face of existing challenges, Weitang Sun is working at the Champer Lab Peking University to advance #genedrive approaches for mosquito control 🔬 ➡️bit.ly/3Aw6j9y #WorldMosquitoDay

New tools such as #genedrive technologies could help control #Aedesaegypti 🦟, vectors of diseases like #dengue and #yellowfever. At the Champer Lab Peking University, Jialiang Guo works on modelling in #AedesAegypti. ➡️bit.ly/3WPM3XP #WorldMosquitoDay Jackson Champer

#Genedrive technologies could offer a promising avenue to reduce the #malaria burden. At the Champer Lab Peking University, Xuejiao Xu Xuejiao Xu works on developing novel genetic tools to control #Anopheles mosquitoes. 🔬🧬 ➡️bit.ly/3Aw6j9y #WorldMosquitoDay
