Drones for Area-Wide Larval Source Management of Malaria Mosquitoes

Drones for Area-Wide Larval Source Management of Malaria Mosquitoes

Given the stagnating progress in the fight against malaria, there is an urgent need for area-wide integrated vector management strategies to complement existing intra-domiciliary tools, i.e., insecticide-treated bednets and indoor residual spraying. In this study, we describe a pilot trial using dro...
