Summary

This project focuses on creating an innovative mosquito control device that attracts and infects malaria-carrying mosquitoes with a fungus, while also contaminating their breeding sites to eliminate larvae. The aim is to develop a low-cost, environmentally friendly solution to combat malaria effectively.

Objective

Our consortium will focus on the integration of four novel control components in a low-tech (no power source, no need for CO2) and cheap mosquito contamination device (MCD) that will a) lure malaria mosquitoes to an attractive point source, b) infect them there with a fungus as a slow-killing agent, and c) expose them to a juvenile hormone analogue with which they will contaminate their breeding sites and kill mosquito larvae.

This is unique because it will be the first vector control tool that…
