#ASTMH25

How can we go farther and faster together in the fight against #malaria? By leaning into our role as impatient optimists.

At #ASTMH25, MMV and @gatesfoundation.bsky.social reaffirmed our belief in a malaria-free future and a bold, science-driven path forward. 🎥 bit.ly/44OOyOP

Gates Foundation & MMV at ASTMH 2025 (5/7) Malaria eradication in our lifetime: don’t stop believing. A sponsored MMV and Gates Foundation symposium at the ASTMH Annual Meeting. Prof. Justice Nonvignon, Management Sciences for Health and University of Ghana – Can we afford elimination? Can we afford NOT to achieve elimination? The bets we place on accelerating malaria elimination cannot miss the mark

Can we afford #malaria eradication? Put benefits above costs & the answer is yes. Eradication will save lives and deliver major social & #economic returns. At #ASTMH25, Prof. Nonvignon underscored why we cannot afford not to pursue a malaria-free future 👉 bit.ly/4pzptQg

Gates Foundation & MMV at ASTMH 2025 (6/7) Malaria eradication in our lifetime: don’t stop believing. A sponsored MMV and Gates Foundation symposium at the ASTMH Annual Meeting. Dr Busiku Hamainza, Ministry of Health, Zambia – We never stopped believing: Zambia’s 10+ year journey to eliminate malaria sub-nationally through targeted MDA approaches – lessons learned and gaps identified

What can endemic countries learn from Zambia’s progress towards #malaria elimination? At #ASTMH25, Dr Busiku Hamainza shared how strong leadership, scaled interventions, real-time data and partner support are driving progress. 🎥 bit.ly/4rQ4bzJ

Gates Foundation & MMV at ASTMH 2025 (4/7) Malaria eradication in our lifetime: don’t stop believing. A sponsored MMV and Gates Foundation symposium at the ASTMH Annual Meeting. Prof. Melissa Penny, The Kids Research Institute Australia – Modelling the path to elimination: considerations regarding the relative contribution of new elimination accelerators

How can we eliminate the #malaria parasite with existing & new tools? Modelling helps assess strategies for developing and deploying interventions and guides R&D and access decisions. At #ASTMH25, Prof. Melissa Penny showed how it can accelerate progress 👉🎥 bit.ly/4rJzKea

Gates Foundation & MMV at ASTMH 2025 (3/7) Malaria eradication in our lifetime: don’t stop believing. A sponsored MMV and Gates Foundation symposium at the ASTMH Annual Meeting. Prof. Richard Amewu, University of Ghana – May the science be with you: the next decade of R&D for new prevention tools will hold one of the keys to accelerating malaria elimination

Current #malaria prevention tools offer considerable protection, but new options are needed to simplify delivery and extend protection further. At #ASTMH25, Prof. Amewu highlighted the big bets driving next-gen prevention tools 🎥 bit.ly/3XHQswZ

Gates Foundation & MMV at ASTMH 2025 (2/7) Malaria eradication in our lifetime: don’t stop believing. A sponsored MMV and Gates Foundation symposium at the ASTMH Annual Meeting. Dr Tim Wells, MMV, Switzerland – Framing the path to elimination: Alan Magill’s vision for extirpating the human parasite reservoir

Alan Magill believed that a business-as-usual approach to #malaria elimination is not enough. At #ASTMH25, MMV and
@gatesfoundation.bsky.social put his vision into a contemporary context, reinforcing our shared belief that eradication is possible in our lifetime. 🎥👉 bit.ly/4oFwlus

Is #malaria eradication still within reach?

Experts at #ASTMH25, convened by @gatesfoundation.bsky.social & MMV for a sponsored symposium, say yes...with next-gen tools, strong endemic-country leadership & sustained investment.

Presented 3 oral talks at #ASTMH25. Mainly about model interpretability for predicting evolution. Lots of new areas to explore!

This week at #ASTMH25, the Partnership for Vivax Elimination (PAVE) network came together to show what’s possible when evidence, partnerships and policy align to turn innovative tools and collaborative research into real-world impact.

We are the impatient optimists who believe in #malaria eradication in our lifetime. Today at #ASTMH25, MMV & @gatesfoundation.bsky.social convened leading global health experts for a special symposium to reaffirm their shared belief in a malaria-free future. Stay tuned for the video.

MMV is at #ASTMH25!

Meet us in the exhibition hall at booth (512) – come for the Swiss chocolate and Italian coffee, stay for chats about our work & partnerships advancing the #malaria elimination agenda.
