Insectary-in-a-box solves entomological dilemma

Effective indoor residual spraying programs depend on entomological research to determine whether insecticide sprayed on walls of homes is indeed killing malaria-transmitting mosquitoes. But not all countries have the infrastructure needed for such testing. In Rwanda, the USAID-funded Africa Indoor Residual Spraying team turned a 40-by-8-foot shipping container into an insectary equipped for breeding, rearing, and testing mosquitoes. By not incurring the expense of buying land and renovating a building, the insectary-in-a-box cost less than US$20,000. Watch the video to learn more.
