Abstract

Background: Ongoing residual malaria transmission is increasingly mediated by outdoor-biting mosquito populations, especially in communities where insecticidal interventions like indoor residual insecticides (IRS) and long-lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs), are used. Often, the vectors are also physiologically resistant to the insecticides, making this a major against malaria elimination.
