[Vector control methods against malaria and vector resistance to insecticides in Africa].
Vector control methods against malaria must be adapted to the targeted vectors. Control methods against malaria currently depend on deploying insecticide-treated nets, indoor spraying of remanent insecticides and, to a lesser extent, eliminating larval breeding sites. The remanence of the insecticidal effect and efficacy of the vector control must be evaluated. Vector resistance to insecticides is one of the main limitations for use.
