Background: In Myanmar, progress towards malaria elimination has stagnated in some areas requiring deployment of new tools and approaches to accelerate malaria elimination. While there is evidence that networks of community-based malaria workers and insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) can reduce malaria transmission in a variety of settings, evidence for the effectiveness of other interventions, such as topical repellents, is limited. Since malaria transmission in Myanmar occurs outdoors, mainly among forest-goers, this study tested the effectiveness of topical repellents in combination with supplemental ITN distribution and strengthened networks of malaria workers.

Hygienic insecticides are applied directly to the living environment and are closely related to human life. Dimefluthrin (DIM) is one of the most widely used hygienic insecticides globally. However, with increasing mosquito resistance, both the concentration and duration of DIM usage have risen, prompting public concerns regarding its neurotoxic risks, especially for immunocompromised children.

With their diverse species, mosquitoes are known to transmit the causal agents of diseases such as malaria, dengue, and yellow fever. Their high adaptability, attraction to humans, and variable adult behaviors make them a significant health concern. The focus on Aedes aegypti is significant for reducing vector-human contacts, monitoring insecticide resistance, and developing innovative vector management strategies.

Article Synopsis
- Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are gaining attention as cost-effective and eco-friendly fluorescence probes, offering advantages over traditional luminescent techniques.
- A new type of copper and nitrogen-doped CQDs (Cu-N@CQDs) was created, achieving a high quantum yield of 40.20% for detecting malathion, an insecticide.
- The study demonstrated that the fluorescence intensity of Cu-N@CQDs decreased in response to malathion, allowing for accurate measurements across various samples like water and food, achieving high recovery rates.

The emergence of insecticide resistance has increased the need for alternative pest management tools. Numerous genetic biocontrol approaches, which involve the release of genetically modified organisms to control pest populations, are in various stages of development to provide highly targeted pest control. However, all current mating-based genetic biocontrol technologies function by releasing engineered males which skew sex-ratios or reduce offspring viability in subsequent generations which leaves mated females to continue to cause harm (e.
