The Intersection of Policy and Schistosomiasis on Neglected Tropical Disease Day On this World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day, we invite you to learn more about science policy in the context of Neglected Tropical…

January 30th is World #NTD day, the perfect time to bring together my research on #schistosomaisis and interest in #sciencepolicy. Read “The Intersection of Policy and Schistosomiasis on Neglected Tropical Disease Day“ by Emily Selland on Medium: medium.com/science-poli...

Chronic low-dose exposure to chlorpyrifos reduces life span in a wild fish by accelerating aging Low concentrations of chemicals are widespread in the environment, but exploration of the effects of their chronic exposures on animal life span in the wild is limited. Field investigations showed tha...

Excited to announce a new Science article, co-authored by Dr. Rohr! In this work, Rohr and collaborators show that chronic, low-dose exposure to chlorpyrifos, a widely used insecticide, speeds up aging in a common lake fish by shortening its telomeres, thus leading to premature death. Check it out!

Check out Dr. Rohr's webinar talk this Thursday (8/17/2025, 12-1pm ET) on the development of a "win-win" innovation that reduces schistosomiasis while improving agricultural production, energy access, and water availability. To join, please register at the link provided below!

Thanks to everyone at @eeid2025.bsky.social for listening to me present our work yesterday on #schistosomiasis transmission across two ecological gradients! 🐌🪱 Excited to see how this project continues to take shape with @pmheffernan.bsky.social and the @rohrecologylab.bsky.social crew!

We can't believe it but #EEID2025 starts today! Here is a handy overview of the schedule.

Human Schistosoma exposure risk in rice fields and an exploration of fish species for snail and schistosomiasis biocontrol Schistosomiasis is a devastating parasitic disease in which the infectious stage to humans is released by intermediate host snails. The Senegal River Basin (SRB) is a high-risk area for both urogenita...

Thrilled to share my first first author publication, out now in @plosglobalpublichealth.org! We detected Schistosoma-snails in rice fields and tested some key native fish for predation of snails… & more coming soon 👀 @rohrecologylab.bsky.social journals.plos.org/globalpublic...
