Abstract
New approaches for integrated and cost-effective malaria vector control
Highlights
Journal of Rare Diseases Research & Treatment bed net campaigns, today vector control faces increased headwind once again
During a three-year field trial (EMIRA – Ecologic Malaria Reduction for Africa), evidence was generated on the feasibility, effectiveness, acceptability, and cost of biological larviciding in North-Western Burkina Faso
Within a three-year research project in rural Burkina Faso (EMIRA – Ecologic Malaria Reduction for Africa), the feasibility of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) based larviciding was investigated in a resource restraint setting in North-Western Burkina Faso[22]
Summary
Journal of Rare Diseases Research & Treatment bed net campaigns, today vector control faces increased headwind once again. Malaria vector control to date almost exclusively relies on long lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS), while other approaches such as larviciding are less implemented. During a three-year field trial (EMIRA – Ecologic Malaria Reduction for Africa), evidence was generated on the feasibility, effectiveness, acceptability, and cost of biological larviciding in North-Western Burkina Faso.
