🚨 Breaking News! We’re proud to share that MDCF-2, developed by researchers from icddr,b and @WashU has been acknowledged in @TIME’s Best Invention of 2025 under the Social Impact category! 🔗Read more: time.com/collections/be… #TIMEBestInventions2025 #MDCF2
🥣If the gut microbiome influences obesity, could it also hold the key to undernutrition? —a discussion between two scientists from @icddr_b and @WashU led to #MDCF2, now helping undernourished children worldwide. Read more: icddrb.org/features/mdcf-… #TIMEBestInventions2025 #icddrb
🎥 What is Microbiota-Directed Complementary Food (MDCF-2)?How can it help restore gut health and promote growth in undernourished children? Dr Tahmeed Ahmed, Executive Director of icddr,b, explains.📷Watch here: youtu.be/srPSgkx8U80?si… #TIMEBestInventions2025 #icddrb #MDCF2

Gut Microbiota-Restoring Food for Undernourished Children – A TIME...
🏃♀️ Join the Bonita Stanton, M.D., Memorial 5K! icddr,b proudly sponsors this race honoring Dr Bonita Stanton’s legacy & supporting future physicians. 🗓 5 October 2025 | ⏰ 7:30–11:00 AM 📍 Brookdale Park, Watchung Ave, Bloomfield, NJ 07003 ➡️ Register: GiveHMH.org/Stanton5K3
A new @PLOSGPH study sheds light on the mental health impact of extreme climate events, showing that flooding of compounds and latrine flooding are associated with higher depression among pregnant women living in riverine communities in rural Bangladesh. cutt.ly/3rGLeMra
Moderate to severe malnutrition is a more important risk factor for mortality than aflatoxin in acutely ill children, but aflatoxin exposure increases risk of mortality in the absence of acute malnutrition. Read more: cutt.ly/crGKUQzA
A new study identified 4 bacterial species that were significantly lower in abundance in typhoid fever patients compared with asymptomatic household contacts in Bangladesh & Malawi, suggesting they may protect against clinical infection following exposure to Salmonella Typhi.
In #Microbiome 🔍Investigating the links between the gut microbiome & typhoid fever 🚨Identifying 28 specific metabolic gene clusters negatively associated with typhoid fever, including 7 involved in SCFA metabolism 👉doi.org/pxb4
Sequencing-based analysis of Bangladeshi patients with Rett syndrome-like features revealed 51.9% carried mutations in the MECP2 gene, which is known to be linked to Rett syndrome, and identified 6 novel candidate genes linked to Rett-like symptoms. cutt.ly/qrGKsAox
A recent study showed that rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) can replace traditional slide agglutination methods to confirm Vibrio cholerae colonies belonging to the dominant O1 serogroup, providing a cheaper & faster alternative in resource-limited settings. cutt.ly/urGKt5no
Stakeholders once again urge #Bangladesh to add the #rotavirus #vaccine to its National Immunisation Programme, citing the urgent need to protect children from severe diarrhoea and save thousands of young lives each year. 👉icddrb.org/news/stakehold…
A @NatureComms study reports a novel genetic test that can distinguish between reinfection and relapse in individuals with recurrence of malarial infection by Plasmodium vivax. The test revealed a lower rate of relapse in patients treated with primaquine. cutt.ly/zrGWvXlZ
Wastewater surveillance can reveal an uptick in typhoid-causing bacteria 13 days before the rise of clinical cases. If applied to launching targeted typhoid vaccination campaigns, it could massively reduce hospitalizations, deaths, and associated costs. cutt.ly/3rGWgisT
A new study — from a global team including icddr,b researchers — reports promising results from a trial of a novel vaccine against the diarrheal pathogen Shigella in an animal model, supporting further development of the vaccine and possibly human trials. cutt.ly/GrGWox8g
A multi-country study on diarrheal disease in under-5 children reported that indirect costs from diarrhea — like lost income and decreased productivity — tend to be higher than direct costs like doctor fees, medication, and patient transportation. cutt.ly/OrGl8E6R
Pig-to-human transmission can lead to Nipah outbreaks, and preventing infection in pigs may protect humans. A global team of researchers, including at icddr,b, recently reported promising results from a trial of 3 Nipah virus vaccines on Bangladeshi pigs. cutt.ly/urGlC8O8
icddr,b scientists developed and validated an assay to test the ability of anti-Nipah antibodies to neutralize the virus, a key step in vaccine evaluation. The assay sidesteps the need to culture the virus, allowing its use in resource-limited settings. cutt.ly/9rGlZE6M
🎥 “What I’ve seen is cutting-edge, world-class research with global implications. The genomic sequencing and dengue vaccine work could save millions.”– Dr @BerndSpanier, Chargé d’Affaires @EUinBangladesh. Grateful for the support and look forward to future collaboration.🤝🇪🇺🇧🇩
🤝H.E.Dr @BerndSpanier, Chargé d’Affaires, @EUinBangladesh, visited @icddr_b and praised our “cutting-edge, world-class research” in 🇧🇩 with global impact—highlighting genomic sequencing and vaccine research like dengue. We look forward to continue this valuable partnership!
Screening of 474 patients with fever at icddr,b centers in Dhaka, Bangladesh in 2024 found chikungunya in 55 patients. 213 had 1 or more of chikungunya, dengue & Zika, revealing the burden of mosquito-borne viruses and the urgency of mosquito control. cutt.ly/8rIYGcYt
🇨🇦“Canada is proud to be a longstanding partner of @icddr_b, tackling deadly infectious diseases through innovation and research in 🇧🇩and beyond.” – Mr Weldon Epp, ADM for the Indo-Pacific, @CanadaDev. We are grateful for this continued support in advancing global public health.
