GNATWORK

RT @framaha: Pleased to share our preliminary data from Cameroon showing Host Decoy Traps are very effective for collecting Simulium damnosum s.l. blackflies #oncho #BeatNTDs #NTDs @the_gnatwork @BBSRC @NRInstitute https://t.co/hLNJQe0E5b

RT @hanniepower: Omg this is EPIC!! You can find protocols for dissecting #blackfly salivary glands on @the_gnatwork (Best Name Award goes to...) at https://t.co/xIob4Eieij Beautiful layout of resources for #parasitology/#entomology! #ParasitesOnline21

@hanniepower Glad you like it We have loads of free protocols on our website (https://t.co/s1fAcq0vEu) as well as PhD dissertations. We are still expanding these so if there's anything anyone wants, or anything anyone wants to share, get in touch!

RT @infravec2: Job opportunity!! TropIQ Health Sciences is offering a position as Postdoctoral fellow in tick-borne diseases research ️ Find out more here https://t.co/9ubq9PNo0i

RT @NRInstitute: Dr @framaha recently presented the results of a project with partners from @IITA_CGIAR in #Cameroon & @icddr_b in #Bangladesh to validate new surveillance methods for sandflies & blackflies at a virtual @the_gnatwork conferencehttps://t.co/4lupPuGNoc

Job Alert @MoredunComms is looking for a postdoctoral scientist to join as a Fellow in Vector-borne Diseases More information on their website: https://t.co/e09FDfItWj

Thank you to everyone that joined us for #Gnatwork21 We loved seeing all the research presented by our funded projects & the diverse work presented by our members during the poster session. All recordings will be made available & links will be included in this months newsletter

Finally a presentation by our director Professor Mary Cameron summarising the achievements of the Gnatwork so far #Gnatwork21 https://t.co/e1c4CvOiSf

RT @Jess_Stokes_: Fantastic presentation by @framaha showcasing a novel alternative to human landing catches for sandfly and blackfly collections- the host decoy trap. Obvious benefits as reduces risk to participants of bites and infection. Amazing results for blackfly sampling #Gnatwork21 https://t.co/fpfsPBdoVp

To end this session we now have @framaha presenting on behalf of her team on the use of host decoy traps to collect sandflies and blackflies as an alternative to traditional surveillance methods. More information on the project can be found here: https://t.co/vQUSYuwiWS

RT @Jess_Stokes_: Impressive cross-border collaboration in the face of COVID disruption made this project a success. Large numbers of Culicoides successfully collected and identified with a preliminary key already up on @the_gnatwork website: https://t.co/x3FToLb8iC #Gnatwork21 https://t.co/eo9grj384n

Next we have Dr Marion England @Pirbright_Inst presenting work on behalf of her team including @masyvluv and Dr Godwin Kwakye-Nuako on the validation of CO2 baited CDC traps against human landing catches for #Culicoides and #sandflies #Gnatwork21 https://t.co/B1nVAoHUz5
