Rapidly emerging insecticide resistance is creating an urgent need for new active
ingredients to control the adult mosquitoes that vector malaria. Biopesticides based on the …

Malaria is arguably the most serious vector-borne disease worldwide. The already-alarming
number of deaths caused by malaria is increasing, caused in part by the increase in …

Background Chemical insecticides against adult mosquitoes are a key element in most
malaria management programmes, but their efficacy is threatened by the evolution of …

The effectiveness of conventional malaria vector control is being threatened by the spread of
insecticide resistance. One promising alternative to chemicals is the use of naturally …

Recent research has indicated that fungal biopesticides could augment existing malaria
vector control tools. Here we present a set of methodologies to monitor the in vivo kinetics of …

Background Insecticide resistance is seriously undermining efforts to eliminate malaria. In
response, research on alternatives to the use of chemical insecticides against adult …

Recent research has raised the prospect of using insect fungal pathogens for the control of
vector-borne diseases such as malaria. In the past, microbial control of insect pests in both …

The first decade of the new millennium experienced intensified efforts to control malaria,
notably in Africa. Due to a massive uptake in the use of insecticide-treated bed nets, indoor …

Insect-killing fungi such as Beauveria bassiana are being evaluated as possible active
ingredients for use in novel biopesticides against mosquito vectors that transmit malaria …

The evolution of insecticide resistance in mosquitoes is threatening the effectiveness and
sustainability of malaria control programs in various parts of the world. Through their unique …
