Due to an increase in insecticide resistance, it is more important than ever that we focus our efforts on developing malaria control tools that will have proven public health value and that will preserve existing tools against the threat of resistance.
One Insecticide Resistance Management (IRM) strategy is to combine two or more insecticides with different modes of action in one Long Lasting Insecticidal Net (LLIN), this way the mosquito is likely to be killed by contact with the second insecticide, in the event that it survives contact with the first insecticide. To this end, IVCC is investing in the development of Dual Active Ingredient (Dual AI) mixtures for insecticidal treated nets.
