An invasive species of mosquito (Anopheles stephensi) has the potential of putting 126 million people at risk of malaria if it goes unchecked. “The sooner a program knows that this vector has invaded a new area, the sooner they can try to take measures to control that mosquito.” – Audrey Lenhart, CDC Entomology Branch Chief. Before last summer, it could take hours to weeks to confirm detection of Anopheles stephensi mosquitos. Now, thanks to the innovation of CDC experts and two Public Health Entomology for All (PHEFA) interns, it can take as little as 30 minutes. Watch to see how it works ⬇️ https://bit.ly/3RAjkVk

Are you a healthcare provider who helps care for newborns? Screening for critical congenital heart defects (CHDs) can help identify newborns with a critical CHD before they go home from the birth hospital, aiding in prompt care and treatment. Timely care may prevent disability or death early in life for infants with critical CHDs. Current published recommendations focus on screening newborns in the well-baby nursery or other units from which discharge from the hospital is common during a newborn’s first week.
