Malaria vector control: current and future strategies.
The recently announced call for malaria eradication represents a new page in the history of this disease. This has been triggered by remarkable reductions in malaria resulting from combined application of effective drugs and vector control. However, this strategy is threatened by development of insecticide resistance. Efforts to develop alternative tools to complement or even replace insecticide-based vector-control strategies must continue. Here, an overview is presented of the novel vector-control tools expected to contribute to malaria eradication.
