Mosquitoes as pesticide disseminators: Advancing pyriproxyfen-based technologies for next-generation vector control
#Pyriproxyfen is a low-toxicity #InsectGrowthRegulator disrupting mosquito development, with dissemination stations and boosted sterile/incompatible techniques helping fight #InsecticideResistance and strengthen global #VectorControl.

Female Anopheles mosquito, with long, slender legs, spotted wings folded over her back. Brown thorax, head with long proboscis and palps directed forward. Insect is sitting on algae-stained wooden fence.
I was somewhat surprised to find this female “malaria mosquito,” Anopheles sp., sitting on our backyard fence yesterday. Leavenworth, Kansas, USA. #bugsky #mosquito #fly #insects #vectorcontrol #mosquitoes

First page of the article entitled "Efficacy of non-pyrethroid indoor residual spraying or intensive behaviour change communication in combination with long-lasting insecticidal nets for malaria control in west Africa: a pragmatic, cluster-randomised, controlled trial"
🚨 New publication!
Our RCT in 🇧🇫 Burkina Faso & 🇨🇮 Côte d’Ivoire shows that adding either non-pyrethroid indoor residual spraying (IRS) or intensive behaviour change communication (BCC) to LLINs reduces #malaria burden.
