PMI and PAMCA

The PMI VectorLink Project is hard at work in Cameroon today, highlighting the important work and lessons learned in malaria prevention and control in Africa at the 2019 Pan-African Mosquito Control Association (PAMCA) Conference. PAMCA brings together mosquito-control experts and researchers from Africa and beyond. The theme of this year’s conference is Strengthening surveillance systems for vector-borne disease elimination in Africa.

The PMI VectorLink Project will present the following:
