The social devastation caused by the pandemic response, which the WHO claims as further justification for increasing its power, resulted almost entirely from the ‘lockdown’ policies promoted by WHO, WEF, and their private sponsors. /1

La conferencia magistral del Dr Hernando del Portillo @HernandoDelPor1, que dio cierre a nuestro XVIII Congreso Colombiano de Parasitología y Medicina Tropical

"Vaccines against malaria: The long and winding road" 🦟🌎

🧵👇 Image
Para esta charla, @HernandoDelPor1 revisó los aspectos científicos clave del desarrollo de la vacuna contra la #malaria, una enfermedad parasitaria devastadora de la humanidad con aproximadamente la mitad de la población mundial viviendo en áreas con riesgo de transmisión.

Desafortunadamente, en comparación con 2019 y probablemente debido a la pandemia de #COVID19 se estima que hubo 14 millones más de casos de malaria y 47 000 muertes más. Además, la aparición de resistencia parcial a la artemisinina en África es una gran amenaza e indica que ..

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.

Today is #WorldCitiesDay.

#DYK❓ Over half of the world’s population now lives in cities.

Two-thirds of the global population will be living in urban areas by 2050. 90% of the shift will happen in Africa 🌍 & Asia 🌏. Image
While urbanization can bring health & economic benefits, rapid & unplanned urbanization can create inequity among the population, including migrants & other disadvantaged people.

Few dozen cases of local dengue transmission, more than has been observed before (bit of a theme for #infectiousdiseases in the recent past...)

An infected traveller would have returned to France, been bitten by a local mozzie, with onward transmission from biting new humans.
Seeing more mosquito-driven disease in Europe. Loads of #westnile virus in the lowlands in northern Italy, plus a few cases across other Euro countries

wereldwijde afname in kindervaccinaties afgelopen jaar, én het jaar ervoor 😢
Gemiddelde kindervaccinatiegraad 🌎🌍🌏 is gedaald van 86% naar 81%, met grote verschillen tussen landen.
"Dit gaat levens kosten", aldus @who
@WHO gebruikt de 3e #DTKP (difterie, tetanus, kinkhoest, polio) 💉als maat voor algeheel beeld vaccinatiegraad, maar de afname geldt ook voor #BMR waardoor de kans op #mazelen uitbraken wereldwijd ook toeneemt
#mazelen is de meest besmettelijke infectieziekte die we kennen
En het mazelenvaccin is het meest effectieve vaccin dat we kennen 💉
Toch gaan er jaarlijks 140.000 mensen (met name jonge kinderen) dood aan mazelen.

vaccinatiegraad moet dus ⬆️, niet ⬇️

Very pleased to present our recent study of #endocytosis in #apicomplexans that draws on #K13 and drug-resistance in #malaria to learn of a highly unusual endocytic machinery in #Toxoplasma with a deep evolutionary origin. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
Using the #Plasmodium #artemisinin-resistance genes as initial leads, some proximity proteomics, and a good deal of super-res microscopy, a comprehensive molecular model of endocytic pits integrated into the cell’s complex (IMC) pellicle was achieved.
Remarkably, this superstructure is highly stable with the typically ephemeral proteins rigidly anchored at this site. Even more unusual, the complex is preassembled in daughter cells before the plasma membrane is even recruited. (and yes, Toxo daughter cells ARE gorgeous!)

PMID: 11053494
3/🧵 Malaria is an Italian word composed of “mala” and “aria,” meaning bad (malus) air (aeris). It was first used to describe a fever (miasma) mistakenly attributed to exposure to poisonous air.
