Interventions that reduce mosquito populations and prevent bites are an essential part of successful malaria control and elimination strategies, but challenges like growing insecticide resistance and climate change require new tools. As countries introduce next-generation mosquito nets and researchers explore novel approaches like genetically modified mosquitos, what does it really take to deliver effective vector control? Drawing on experiences from leading experts, this session will explore the successful approaches and lessons learned from rolling out new vector control innovations in the communities hit hardest by malaria.
This webinar will cover:
- How malaria control and elimination programs are choosing and deploying new nets
- The latest research into gene drive tools for mosquito population control
- Lessons from programs rolling out vector control innovations in high-burden settings
SPEAKERS:
- DR. CHRISTEN FORNADEL, Senior Technical Coordinator, Innovative Vector Control Consortium
- DR. ALEKOS SIMONI, Technical Support Specialist, Target Malaria
- DR. CHARLES WONDJI, Executive Director, Centre for Research in Infectious Diseases
- JOE WAGMAN, Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases Program Advisor, PATH
