Zooprophylaxis: A Strategy for Effective Delivery of Endectocides for Vector Control

A new strategy is needed for an effective management of residual malaria transmission attained after a wide use of Indoor residual spray and long lasting insecticidal nets. However, insecticides resistance has been a drawback factor for the attained success. The costs for changing insecticides for vector control annual still a challenges to be met by malaria transmission prone areas. The alternative strategy has to be in place for creating a dead end point for vectors than relying on insecticides for IRS and LLINs. The incorporation of zooprophylaxis strategy to deliver endectocides to blood feeding mosquitoes will kill even resistant populations of zoophilic mosquitoes and substantially reduce and eliminate residual malaria transmission.
