Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alphaxard Manjurano"
- Alphaxard Manjurano's recent research primarily focuses on evaluating the effectiveness and durability of novel long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) in Tanzania, particularly in response to challenges posed by pyrethroid-resistant malaria vectors.
- His studies assess the bio-efficacy of LLINs that combine pyrethroids with additional insecticides or synergists, highlighting how these innovations aim to maintain control of malaria transmission in areas where traditional pyrethroid-only nets are becoming less effective.
- Manjurano also investigates various factors influencing malaria incidence and prevalence, including the durability of the insecticide-treated fabrics and the rising prevalence of malaria in certain regions, emphasizing a need for novel control strategies such as gene drive technology for improved malaria vector management.
