As @who.int Goodwill Ambassador for Leprosy Elimination, Yohei Sasakawa reminds us that leprosy is not just a medical issue, but a human rights issue.

On World Leprosy Day 2026, let us commit to ending stigma and ensuring that no one is left behind.

#WorldLeprosyDay #EndStigma #HealthEquity #ASTMH

World Leprosy Day 2026 reminds us of a simple truth.

Leprosy is curable. The real challenge is stigma.

Despite effective treatment, fear and discrimination continue to delay care and drive preventable disability.

Congratulations to ID faculty member Daniel Leung, MD, MSc on his recent recognition 👏

NGDI UBC was honored to provide sponsorship for Canadian NTD students to experience the ASTMH 2025 Annual Meeting in Toronto (and attend the CNNTD symposium). #ASTMH #TropMed25 @astmh.bsky.social @cagh-acsm.bsky.social @uniting.bsky.social @msf.ca @who.int

Why surveillance is important? 4 years ago we predicted a CHIKV outbreak by detecting its silent circulation (lnkd.in/gx7-4ZeQ). Today, the team @mauriciolnogueira.bsky.social provided a genomic and clinical time map of the massive CHIKV outbreak of 2024 in the area. #FAMERP #SBV #ASTMH #UTMB #ACAV

‘A sigh of relief’: New malaria drug succeeds in large clinical trial As existing drugs falter because of resistance, the world gets a backup—but hard choices loom on how to use it

I’ve been in Toronto at the #astmh meeting these past few days and last night some very good news was presented here: A new malaria drug has proven efficacious in a large trial and could soon be approved.🧪
My story in @science.org (and 🧵on why it's important to come):

Dr Fatimata Bintou Sall, #MARCADPlus Postdoctoral Fellow, presented the results of her research on “Barriers and Facilitators to Intermittent Preventive Treatment in Pregnancy Uptake in the Health District of Kédougou, Senegal” during the #ASTMH #TropMed25 poster session @astmh.bsky.social

📣4th day at the #ASTMH #TropMed25!

📍Today, our postdoc Dr Lucia Roman-Alamo gave an outstanding oral communication on Nanoencapsulation strategies of antimalarial and antileishmanial compounds

💬 Our group is making the most of these last few days of the congress!!

Ogechi Nwankwoala studies medicine at Boston University. She earned her undergraduate degree at Johns Hopkins University in 2023. This year, she co-authored a paper with her Hopkins mentor, Dr. Matthew Ippolito of the Johns Hopkins #Malaria Research Institute. #ASTMH #IAmTropMed

Johns Hopkins' very own Dr. George Dimopoulos explains his work engineering #mosquitoes so that they no longer transmit #malaria -- or that the parasite that causes the disease actually kills the mosquito when it infects. #iamtropmed #astmh

Dr. Melissa Conrad of the Johns Hopkins hashtag#Malaria Research Institute talks about her work tracking a dangerous gene mutation from Southeast Asia to the African continent. Follow all the amazing science with us from the #ASTMH Annual Meeting in Toronto. #Iamtropmed
