How Research Supports Policy in Cameroon

This week’s Monday Motivation goes to the PMI VectorLink Cameroon team for their recently published article in Malaria Journal on “High vector diversity and malaria transmission dynamics in five sentinel sites in Cameroon.”

From October 2018 to September 2020, malaria vector surveillance was conducted at five sentinel sites where mosquitoes were collected to assess data like human biting rate and species composition. Results indicated that of the 18 species collected, 12 were vectors of malaria. Anopheles gambiae s.l. was the most common malaria vector collected.

These findings will help the National Malaria Control Program design effective malaria control strategies and implement effective interventions to prevent malaria in Cameroon.

Great work supporting vital research that will help the National Malaria Control Program, VL Cameroon! You can read the full article here.
