How is climate change affecting malaria transmission?

Rising temperatures and changes in rainfall patterns create more breeding grounds for mosquitoes, allowing them to spread malaria to new areas.

Chevron

What are some new technologies being used to fight malaria?

* Satellite imagery helps pinpoint mosquito breeding sites for targeted interventions. * Drones deliver insecticides to remote areas inaccessible by land. * Smart insecticide dispensers continuously release low doses of insecticide over a long period.

Chevron

What is a gene drive, and how could it be used against malaria?

Gene drives are a genetic engineering technique that could modify mosquito genes to reduce their ability to transmit malaria parasites. However, extensive research is needed before widespread use.

Chevron

What are some future prevention methods for malaria?

* Targeted attractant traps lure and eliminate specific mosquito species. * Spatial repellents provide long-lasting protection zones on walls or furniture. * A successful malaria vaccine could significantly reduce the disease burden.
