The development of an ivermectin-based attractive toxic sugar bait (ATSB) to target Anopheles arabiensis
Malaria Journal Sep 01, 2017
Tenywa FC, et al. - Authors aim at describing the development of a sugar–baited resting place containing a toxic dose of ivermectin for the control of Anopheles arabiensis. They realized that ivermectin is an effective insecticide for use in sugar baits. Feeding rates and, therefore, efficacy can be linked with the design of the sugar bait. Sugar baits offering a resting surface are more efficient, and placement close to peri–domestic vegetation maximized the sugar feeding on the baits. Attractive toxic sugar baited resting places may provide an additional vector control method to complement with existing strategies.
