🖥️ On 25 November, a @lshtm.bsky.social RAFT
webinar will examine how factors like urbanisation, the #ClimateCrisis and more frequent international travel are increasing the risk of mosquito-borne arboviruses like #dengue and #chikungunya.

Register here to join ➡️ us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
oster for RAFT TechTalk Event. Text reads: Mosquito-borne arboviruses like dengue and chikungunya are steadily increasing on a global scale, and will continue to do so as urbanisation, global warming, and increased international mobility favour the spread and increase of the Aedes vector mosquitoes. Obscured by the greater priority of malaria, arboviruses nevertheless already exceed the number of annual malaria infections. In this webinar we learn about the close links between Aedes biology and human habitations, and the need for multi-sectoral and global coordination to curb the unabating spread of these diseases. Our panel of experts from Africa, Asia and the World Health Organization will share insights and respond to audience questions. 25 November 2025 11:00 UK time

We recently conducted training sessions with @unicef.org and Mozambique's Ministry of Health in Zambézia province, as part of the ZIDER study.

It aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the enhanced upSCALE digital platform to identify zero-dose and under-immunised children in remote communities.
