IVCC’s mission is to facilitate innovative approaches to preventing vector-borne diseases by directly targeting the vector which transmits the disease.
Where vector control has been consistently applied in the past (2010-2015), the results have been impressive, with 78% of averted clinical cases of malaria being attributed to insecticidal treated nets and Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS). However, the success of vector control tools is threatened by the development and spread of insecticide resistance.
IVCC is working with a range of partners to facilitate the development of novel and improved public health insecticides, formulations and products to address these challenges.
