Curious about how antibodies can target Plasmodium sporozoites?
Very happy to see this review out, it means a lot to me to finish my PhD research topic with a nice overview of what is known about how anti-CSP Abs neutralize the parasite in the mammalian host.

🥳🎉Our brand-new review on species-specific differences in interferon response effectors and the resulting barriers to interspecies transmission of viruses is out, go read it!🥳🎉
Viral interferon antagonism shapes host tropism
Outbreaks of zoonotic viruses in human populations highlight the need to understand the molecular factors that influence viral host tropism and interspecies transmission. A virus’s host range is deter...

🦟 Today is #worldmosquitoday! It's a good opportunity to show what it takes to rear Anopheles mosquitos for our #malaria research.
First, let's look at how many mosquitos are bred in the Levashina Lab each year.
Check out the following posts to learn what it takes to keep them happy! (1/4) 👇
