Meet Cynthia Yolande Niangara, one of many scientists whose study of mosquito behavior is leading to better malaria control strategies in Côte d’Ivoire, thanks to the support of the U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative.
Research on mosquitoes helps countries make better decisions about how to prevent and control malaria. The U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative partners with Côte d’Ivoire’s National Malaria Control Program to support research institutes that are studying mosquito behavior.
As mosquitoes continue to develop resistance to some insecticides, scientists must stay one step ahead of them to ensure the right mosquito control measures are in place.
PMI’s work with the National Institute of Public Hygiene and the Swiss Center for Scientific Research is helping Côte d’Ivoire protect its population from malaria.
