Mind the gap: residual malaria transmission, veterinary endectocides and livestock as targets for malaria vector control

Authors: Carlos Chaccour, Gerry F. Killeen

Published in: Malaria Journal | Issue 1/2016

Excerpt

The work of Pooda et al. published in Malaria Journal [1] provides encouraging evidence of the potential use of systemic insecticides in cattle as a complementary means to further reduce residual malaria transmission that persists despite high coverage of current front-line vector measures, namely long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual sprays (IRS). …
