Publication: Dr Ambrose Oruni releases a paper on “Chlorfenapyr bednets effectively overcome pyrethroid resistance escalation in highly resistant Anopheles malaria vectors in Uganda”
In many parts of sub-Saharan Africa, malaria mosquitoes have become resistant to pyrethroids, the insecticides used for decades on standard bed nets. This resistance makes malaria harder to control. This study, published in Scientific Reports in January 2026, evaluated newly introduced Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) with different modes of action. Researchers conducted Uganda’s first experimental hut trials:…
