Background: Despite the huge global effort , there has been an increase in malaria morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa since 2015, from 212 million cases and 429,000 deaths in 2015 to 241 million cases and 627,000 deaths in 2020 mainly because of resistance to insecticide. Therefore, advancing innovative approaches is the only sustainable way to fight malaria.
Methods: Taking advantage of the behavior of mosquitoes around the net, which is almost 70-90% concentrated on the roof, we have developed a two-compartment mosquito bednet, the so-called T-Net for mass mosquito trapping and killing.
Article Synopsis
- The wetlands used for agriculture are breeding grounds for mosquitoes, and insecticide use can lead to resistance in malaria vectors.
- A study in Côte d'Ivoire assessed Anopheles coluzzii's resistance to neonicotinoids in agricultural and non-agricultural regions, revealing resistance to acetamiprid in agricultural settings but susceptibility in a non-agricultural area.
- The research highlights the need to consider insecticide resistance from agrochemical use when developing malaria vector control strategies.
Malaria morbidity and mortality rates in Sub-Saharan Africa are increasing. The scale-up of long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying have been the major contributors to the decrease of malaria burden. These tools are now threatened by insecticide resistance in malaria vectors, which is spreading dramatically.
