Eliminating malaria vectors [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2013
Malaria vectors which predominantly feed indoors upon humans have been locally eliminated from several settings with insecticide treated nets (ITNs), indoor residual spraying or larval source management. Recent dramatic declines of An. gambiae in east Africa with imperfect ITN coverage suggest mosquito populations can rapidly collapse when forced below

Gene drive mosquitoes can aid malaria elimination by retarding Plasmodium sporogonic development

bioRxiv, 2022
Gene drives hold promise for the genetic control of malaria vectors. The development of vector population modification strategies hinges on the availability of effector mechanisms impeding parasite development in transgenic mosquitoes.

Scaling malaria interventions: bottlenecks to malaria elimination

BMJ Global Health, 2023
The slow progress in malaria control efforts and increasing challenges have prompted a need to accelerate the research and development (R&D), launch and scaling of effective interventions for malaria elimination. This research, including desk research and key informant interviews, identified the following challenges along the end-to-end scale-up ...
