The @GCRF SPACES project studies public health risks (enteric pathogens and mosquitoes), and agricultural/environmental impacts of plastic pollution in #Africa
Publication!!
Exciting work by Luke Woodford et al investigating the transfer of Salmonella Typhimurium and Vibrio cholerae from plastic mulch onto spinach and basil leaves @StirBESsciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Really enjoyed presenting our recent work on E. coli (@Hannah_White1 ) and Salmonella (@MOrmsby8 ) persistence on environmental plastic waste at #microbio23 annual conference @StirUni
Looking forward to hearing Rebecca Metcalf from @StirBES presenting her work on pathogen persistence on environmental microplastics #microbio23 (Hall 5; 10:45)
The @StirUni SPACES team recently visited Malawi and Tanzania to meet with local project partners to discuss the project’s progress and visit key field sites.
