The challenge to address outdoor-biting mosquitoes remains a tough nut to crack, and is a strong contributor to residual malaria. Many repellent products do work well, but are associated with factors that detract from user-acceptance, such as cost-issues, unpleasant greasy or oily deposits in topical applications, inadequate space-diffusion in spatial repellents, short-lived repellent-period, and others. In this webinar, we will explore new products, and also new attractants that may be useful for trap collections.
