Summary From 2004 to 2019, insecticide-treated bednets (ITNs) have been the most
effective tool for reducing malaria morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. Recently …

In recent years, global health security has been threatened by the geographical expansion
of vector-borne infectious diseases such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever, Zika and …

Malaria control interventions target nocturnal feeding of the Anopheles vectors indoors to
