Where is the best source to find data for Malaria in Africa?
Do we have any new info on using genetically modified mosquitoes to control Malaria? Thanks!
WHO world malaria report would give country specific statistics. On Genetically modified mosquitoes, sterile insect technique (SIT) has been piloted in South Africa with plans for using Homing Endonuclease Gene (HEG) trials in Uganda ongoing.
hi
Effective and efficient scale-up of existing interventions is required, which includes the early treatment of malaria cases with ACTs, intermittent preventive treatment for pregnant women (IPTp), and interventions that reduce human–vector contact, such as indoor residual spraying (IRS) or use of long-lasting
suggest you look at the Target Malaria website[ http://targetmalaria.org] for news and information about genetically modified mosquitoes for malaria.
