Papua New Guinea sheds light on malaria mosquito behaviour
IVCC welcomes recent work by researchers in Papua New Guinea, which explores how changing mosquito biting behaviour may be affecting the performance of malaria control tools in the region.
20 Years of Innovation, Impact, and Partnership
In 2025, IVCC proudly celebrates 20 years of driving innovation in vector control. With an initial grant from the Gates Foundation, IVCC was established as the world’s first Product Development Partnership (PDP) for vector control.

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.
Partnerships
Partnerships are at the heart of IVCC’s work. We collaborate with world-leading agricultural companies, research institutes, and many others to create innovative solutions that drive impact in vector control.
Insecticide treated nets (ITNs)
IVCC develops new insecticides and net technologies for ITNs, including repurposed agricultural insecticides and novel active ingredients, to improve the quality and performance of ITNs, reduce malaria transmission, and enhance mosquito control efforts.
Forging global partnerships for Aedes control tools
