Показать описание
Dr Marta Maia from KWTRP (KEMRI Wellcome Trust Research Programme) in Kilifi, Kenya, tells us about her research using ivermectic to affect mosquito survival and thus reduce malaria transmission.
Malaria is mostly controlled through the use of bed nets and insecticides, but progress has stalled and we need new vector control interventions. Mosquitoes can be affected by endectocides carried in the blood of hosts. Clinical trials will determine whether ivermectin administered to human or cattle can be used to impact malaria transmission.
