Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The next few years will be critical in the fight against malaria; the global health community needs to recognize that mosquito resistance to insecticides is now also a serious challenge to malaria control efforts. Insecticide resistance has been identified in 64 countries around the world, affecting all WHO Regions with ongoing malaria transmission. Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and India are of greatest concern because of a combination of high levels of malaria transmission and widespread reports of resistance, in some areas to all four classes of insecticides.
