Current status of ITNs and IRS for African malaria vector control in the era of insecticide resistance: Are there sufficient novel and effective insecticides available for their replacement?
Overview: The proposed project will be looking at how the use of ITN and IRS has progressed over the years in controlling the malaria vector in African countries. Particular attention will be paid to the rise of insecticide resistant vectors and how chemicals used in ITN and IRS has changed to adapt to the situation. With the recent increase of insecticide resistant vectors, many new novel insecticides are being tested to replace the current insecticides in use. The project will assess available new novel insecticides and whether they can be adapted for use with ITN and IRS to combat malaria in Africa.
Objectives: Aim:
• To review and assess novel insecticides available that could reduce vector resistance to currently used insecticides
• To look at ways of limiting vector resistance, by using a combination or alternating insecticides that are currently available. Assessing novel insecticides in the market that could be used to replace currently used insecticides.
