Control measures reduced malaria cases, but new challenges emerged

Existing control measures:

  • Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs)
  • Indoor residual spraying (IRS)
  • Diagnostics testing
  • Antimalarial medicines

Mosquito behavior changes:

  • Outdoor/early night mosquitoes' bites
  • Feeding on animals
  • Resistance to insecticides
  • Changes of mosquitoes' species
