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.
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.
IVCC supports and undertakes world-class leading research and development to improve and extend the range of vector control tools to address the threat posed by insecticide resistance.
Spatial emanators are expected to achieve recognition of public health value for indoor use. Our goal is to enable the adoption of spatial emanators in various use scenarios, incorporating multiple active ingredients to replace volatiles when resistance risks are significant.
Our goal in the next five years is to maintain the relevance of IRS as a tailored vector control intervention and help maintain a minimum of three, different, non-pyrethroid modes of action for IRS that are effective against resistant mosquitoes.
