Oral, Slow-Release Ivermectin: Biting Back at Malaria Vectors
Trends Parasitol.
2017 Mar.
Abstract
Bellinger and colleagues offer an elegant twist for a promising new tool against malaria. This formulation is designed to release ivermectin, a mosquito-killing drug for 10 days after a single oral dose. This could reduce the vector population and serve as a complementary tool for malaria elimination.
Keywords: endectocide; ivermectin; malaria elimination; mass drug administration; slow-release; vector control.
