Abstract Submission Now Open! The wait is over! Make plans to be part of this highly anticipated premier gathering in Nairobi in September 2026, share your latest findings with the community.

Wishing you and yours many happy holiday memories and a prosperous New Year!

📢 Exciting Opportunity!
We are pleased to share with you that our partner at IVCC (Innovative Vector Control Consortium) has launched a call for proposals to advance vector control tools for malaria by addressing the critical gaps in the existing toolbox.

While current methods primarily target indoor mosquito behavior, we’re looking for Proof of Concept (PoC) projects that hat target aspects of the mosquito lifecycle beyond indoor feeding and resting.

This is a chance for stakeholders across geographies and disciplines to contribute to the malaria fight with fresh ideas and technologies.

Apply now or share this with your networks to help us reach a global audience: https://www.ivcc.com/call-for-proposals-vector-control-toolbox-for-malaria/

We are pleased to share with you that PAMCA - Women in Vector Control is organising it first Annual Conference on the theme "𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗩𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹: 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀".

This conference is scheduled to take place on 29 November 2024 at the Golden Peacock Hotel Blantyre, 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘄𝗶.

This ground-breaking event will feature expert panels, workshops, and networking opportunities designed to empower women in the field, promote innovative strategies in vector control, and strengthen community health initiatives.

See flyer for details.

On 14 November 2024, PAMCA in collaboration with the MalariaGEN at Wellcome Sanger Institute hosted a thought provoking symposium on Malaria Vector Genomics Surveillance in Africa – a Pan-African led initiative aimed at advancing our understanding of Anopheles vector genetics for improved Malaria control across sub-Saharan Africa at the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH)

📢 Exciting updates from !

We’re thrilled to share that the PAMCA in collaboration with the MalariaGEN at Wellcome Sanger Institute is hosting a symposium on Malaria Vector Genomics Surveillance in Africa – a Pan-African led initiative aimed at advancing our understanding of Anopheles vector genetics for improved Malaria control across sub-Saharan Africa.

𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐞 & 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞: Thursday 14 November 2024 at 3pm US central time/9pm UK/12am EAT

As mosquitoes adapt rapidly under intense selection pressure from conventional insecticides, new tools are essential to understand the genomic drivers behind these changes.

With a line-up of 5 scientific talks from – Fatoumata SECK, Sanjay Curtis Nagi, PhD, Dennis Tristan, Rosine Z. Wolie, Ph.D., and Luna Kamau- the symposium led by Eric Ochomo & Alistair Miles will present:

🔹Progress in genomic surveillance across multiple countries and its influence on vector control.
🔹 Capacity-building initiatives for vector researchers across Africa.

Don’t miss this opportunity to explore how genomics data can drive evidence-based updates in Malaria vector control and operational guidelines.

If you’re not attending, be sure to check out our updates for insights on how African-led research is influencing the future of Malaria control and vector genomics.

Webinar Registration Alert!

Our Partners- The RAFT (Resilience Against Future Threats through Vector Control) research consortium would like to invite you to their 5th webinar in the Tech Talk series on: Emerging threats in a changing world, Aedes & Anopheles stephensi: Could we eradicate Anopheles stephensi in Africa?

Date: Wednesday 20 November 2024 at 11.00 UK time.

Together with our partners at MalariaGEN, we are pleased to announce that the call for application for the online training course in for of African malaria vectors is now open for application. This course is delivered jointly the PAMCA Pan-African Mosquito Control Association- and by the Malaria Genomic Epidemiology Network (MalariaGEN)

𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀
The goal of this course is to introduce some practical techniques for the analysis of genomic data for surveillance of Anopheles mosquitoes.

At the end of the course, trainees will be able to:

1. Perform a range of analyses on Anopheles genomic data that are relevant to malaria vector surveillance
2. Describe key biological concepts underpinning the analyses
3. Describe key computing technologies used for the analyses
4. Interpret analysis results and discuss implications for malaria vector control policy

𝑲𝒆𝒚 𝑫𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔:
The course runs from the 2nd of April 2025 till the 11th of June 2025
Application deadline: 1 January 2025
