So grateful to be part of these spectacular communities @ACasadevall1 lab @JohnsHopkinsMMI @JohnsHopkinsSPH
Too much can kill the mosquito — too little can also kill it. But the right amount can strengthen the mosquito’s defenses and stop #malaria transmission 🦟

Faced with the possibility of a tragedy of immense proportions, I make a heartfelt appeal to all the parties involved to assume the moral responsibility of halting the spiral of violence before it becomes an unbridgeable chasm. May diplomacy regain its proper role, and may the well-being of peoples, who yearn for peaceful existence founded on justice, be upheld. And let us continue to pray for peace.

I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue.

Dr. Shengzhang Dong of the Johns Hopkins #Malaria Research Institute engineers transgenic #mosquitoes in the quest to produce mosquitoes that don't transmit disease. He presented his latest research at the @ASTMH 2025 Annual Meeting. #Iamtropmed

“This study opens the door for future research into these adaptations & the identification of urban fungal species that may emerge as potential human pathogens in the near future,” said @JohnsHopkinsSPH researcher & @ACasadevall1 Lab member @Danfqsmith

We ran into an old friend in Toronto! Dr. Sungano Mharakurwa, director of the #Malaria Program at Africa University in Mutare, Zimbabwe! Dr. Mharakurwa helped start the Johns Hopkins Malaria Institute nearly 25 years ago. #IAmTropMed

It's Day 3 of ASTMH 2025 and the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute is bringing you highlights. Our friend Dr. Himanshu Gupta from GLA University tells us about his exciting research to see if mRNA can be used as a biomarker for severe #malaria. Spoiler alert: it can!

Fascinating and challenging work with outstanding collaborations @ACasadevall1 @MosquitoExpert @radajbcordero and many more @JohnsHopkinsMMI @CUNY L-DOPA an integrative and ecological safe approach to control malaria and protect the biosphere ✨
Johns Hopkins microbiologist Emma Camacho and her colleagues published a study in @Nature Communications that provides clues to a new, environmentally friendly way to prevent malaria. Watch Dr. Camacho explain it!

Congratulations! Beautiful work!
I am pleased to share my latest publication @NatureComms, rdcu.be/d9eN1. We demonstrate for first-time hemocytes play an agonistic role in Plasmodium falciparum infection and regulate intestinal cell proliferation. #Mosquito, #Malaria, #Hemocytes, #JHBSPB
