Mosquitocidal efficacy and pharmacokinetics of single-dose ivermectin versus three-day dose regimen for malaria vector control compared with albendazole and no treatment: An open-label randomized controlled trial

Mosquitocidal efficacy and pharmacokinetics of single-dose ivermectin versus three-day dose regimen for malaria vector control compared with albendazole and no treatment: An open-label randomized controlled trial

Objectives: When malaria vectors consume ivermectin in a blood meal, their survival probability decreases, potentially reducing malaria transmission during mass drug administrations. However, questions remain regarding the optimal dosing. This study aimed to compare the mosquitocidal effect and phar...
