Insecticide discovery & development
Supported by IVCC through scientific advice, laboratory support and rigorous field trials, SumiShield® 50WG, developed by Sumitomo Chemical, offers a new Mode of Action (MOA) Active Ingredient (AI) for vector control.
Target Product Profiles
Target Product Profiles (TPPs) summarise the minimum and the optimum requirements for new vector control products and novel Active Ingredients. It is important to identify key criteria early on in…

Vector control innovation
When insecticide-based vector control tools—methods used to reduce mosquito populations and disease transmission—are consistently applied, they have proven highly effective in reducing malaria, particularly in Africa.
Screening chemistry
Although primarily focused on malaria, IVCC recognises that new tools and products are likely to be effective against a wide range of other vector-borne diseases.
