Malaria transmission blocking using ELQ-infused bed nets

Summary Insecticide-treated mosquito bed nets reduce the transmission of malaria, but mosquitos have developed resistance to insecticides leading to reduced efficacy. Our new technology is a chemical solution for mosquito nets that kills malaria, is less prone to drug-resistance and is not toxic to humans. Technology Overview Insecticide-treated...
