THE INSECTICIDE-RESISTANT MOSQUITO

The value of Insecticide Resistance Management

In this video, David McGuire and Andrew Saibu explain the value of insecticide-based vector control and Insecticide Resistance Management.

Insecticide-based vector control has a huge impact on public health, and the last twenty years have seen great progress in malaria reduction through the use of Long-Lasting Insecticide-Treated Nets and Indoor Residual Spraying. However, mosquitoes are becoming resistant to insecticide-based control interventions.

David McGuire and Andrew Saibu discuss the importance of developing new insecticides and describe real-world examples of projects in the field.
