Ivermectin and its Byproducts Can Take Down Malaria Mosquitoes/
~~
Ivermectin, drug commonly used for humans and animals, is being studied as a potential tool to eliminate malaria by targeting the mosquitoes that spread the disease (The #BOHEMIAproject is one example). It was…

Hot off the press!🔥 Exciting new development on use of ivermectin in malaria vector control.
Here we present a good candidate bioassay for ivermectin bio-efficacy testing in wild-caught mosquitoes.

Final days in the field before we communicate the preliminary results of the BOHEMIA study evaluating mass drug administration of ivermectin for malaria control at MIM in Kigali #BOHEMIAproject #MIM2024 #ivermectin #MDA #KEMRI_Wellcome #ISGlobal

Throwbacks with this team as we recently worked on a short film on malaria eradication, documenting the work of ISGlobal in Kwale County (Kenya), titled #BOHEMIAProject .

Go watch, you'll understand better.
