WHO - Indoor residual surface treatments for malaria transmission control in areas with insecticide-resistant mosquito populations: Preferred product characteristics [2022]
Description:
The document describes the preferred product characteristics required for new types of indoor residual surface treatments to control malaria transmission particularly in areas with insecticide-resistant mosquito populations. WHO has identified a public health need for new interventions to treat indoor surfaces in order to provide additional options for the control of indoor biting/resting malaria vectors with a particular focus on providing alternative for insecticide resistance management.
Why this Tool/Guidance?
Information provided is useful to support the development of safe and effective insecticides for use as indoor residual surface treatments. It is anticipated that product developers and researchers will draw on this information to develop a range of target product profiles to guide the development of specific products.
