Bin dann also mal kurz weg: On my way nach #Nampula #Mosambik, um die Gesundheitsfolgen der #Klimakrise, die unser Team dort besonders beobachtet, zu dokumentieren. Wir @MSF_austria sind daher in der Provinz #Nampula im Norden des Landes im Einsatz. 1/7
#Mosambik ist unter den 10 Ländern, die weltweit am stärksten von den Auswirkungen der #Klimakrise betroffen sind. Aufgrund der geografischen Lage und der langen Küstenlinie ist es anfällig für extreme Wetterereignisse. 2/7
In den letzten Jahren war das Land mit klimabedingten Gefahren wie #Dürren, #Überschwemmungen und #Wirbelstürmen konfrontiert, wobei letztere an Intensität und Häufigkeit zunahmen. 3/7
Warum es wichtig ist, sich ganz konkret mit den Gesundheitsfolgen der #Klimakrise zu beschäftigen?
Laut @WHO ist die Klimakrise die größte Gesundheitsbedrohung für die Menschheit.

Es ist also zu erwarten, dass künftig zunehmend mehr Menschen an den Folgen der #Klimakrise sterben werden - allein aufgrund steigender Zahlen von #Malaria, #Mangelernährung, Durchfallerkrankungen wie #Cholera oder Hitzeschlägen, die mit der Klimakrise verbunden sind... 2/6
Die #Erderhitzung führt zu Temperaturanstiegen & immer mehr Extremwetterereignissen, die gefährliche Auswirkungen auf Natur & Menschen haben. Wobei jene, die schon jetzt unter humanitären Krisen leiden, am stärksten von den Gesundheitsfolgen der #Klimakrise betroffen sind. 3/6

Here at @BSPparasitology, I will be live-tweeting today from the Veterinary Parasitology session at Appleton Hall 2 & from 11:30 am-13:00 PM, from the Protists 5 session: Genomics & Evolution at McEwan Hall! So I will retweet from parallel sessions! Beautiful #BSP2023 final day!
Beginning #BSP2023 Day 4 and opening our Veterinary Parasitology session today, is Dr Lynsey Melville (taking over from Fiona Kenyon) of @MoredunComms who is telling us about "Making #roundworm data ewe-niversal for all". #parasitology
Dr Melville of @MoredunComms tells us about her research in monitoring the development of anthelmintic resistance in the treatment of gastrointestinal nematodes in sheep, particularly focusing on Nematodirus battus resistance to benzimidazoles: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #BSP2023
Welcome to Day 2 (first scientific sessions) of #BSP2023 at @EdinburghUni in beautiful McEwan Hall! You can register each morning at McEwan Hall & make sure to pick up your abstract book & lanyard! #parasitology
Here on Twitter, I will be tweeting from the first 2 plenary sessions at McEwan Hall, followed by sessions:
Protists 1: Development & Signalling
Protists 2: Parasite Interactions
and

The death of every child is an enormous tragedy.
In 2021:
♦️ 5 million children died before their 5th birthday
♦️ 2.1 million older children & young people lost their lives
That’s 1 loss every 4.4 seconds!
Most of these deaths were preventable with access to quality healthcare

Some good news…
Globally, since 2000:
↘️ The under-five mortality rate fell by 50%
↘️ Mortality rates in older children & youth dropped by 36%
↘️ Stillbirth rates decreased by 35%
However, gains have reduced significantly since 2010.
