Just out: LSTM’s blog post on our latest paper exploring how nitisinone kills malaria mosquitoes, even the resistant ones, through tarsal contact.
From rare disease drug to vector control tool.

🦟 New mosquito killer from a surprising source?
A new study finds that nitisinone, a drug used to treat a rare genetic disorder, can kill even insecticide-resistant mosquitoes by targeting how they digest blood.

Here we show that #nitisinone kills insecticide-resistant mosquitoes via cuticular uptake. Great work Zach Stavrou-Dowd, Lee Haines, & LITE. Thanks @gatesfoundation.bsky.social & @RoseTrees Trust @notredame.bsky.social @lstmnews.bsky.social parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

New paper out in Parasites & Vectors!
We show that nitisinone, a repurposed β-triketone, kills Anopheles gambiae via tarsal contact, even in pyrethroid-resistant strains.
