IVCC at the ASTMH 2022 Annual Meeting – Seattle
IVCC is delighted to take part in the upcoming Annual Meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygene (ASTMH) in Seattle, USA from 30th October to 3rd November.
Led by IVCC, the New Nets Project (NNP) is piloting new tools to strengthen the insecticide-treated net (ITN) market. At ASTMH, NNP Partners** will present results from two randomized control trials (Benin and Tanzania) and evidence from pilot evaluations in Burkina Faso, Mozambique, Rwanda and Tanzania. Presentations will touch on market access, use, barriers to use, entomological findings, bio-efficacy, and durability studies of the dual insecticide nets. There are poster presentations daily, as well as an oral presentation.
Symposium: October 31, 2022, 3:00 PM – 4:45 AM PT Convention Center Room 605/610 (6th Floor) New Dual-AI Nets for Malaria Control in Settings of Vector Resistance: A Review of the Current Evidence
We recommend the full symposia and highlight the talk by IVCC’s own Ioana Ursu at 4:20PM on Key issues around the market dynamics and demand for dual-AI nets as malaria control programs scale up use.
