Could a simple, low-cost device that hangs on a wall lead to reduced malaria transmission?
A @NotreDame study showed that a spatial repellent can have transformational outcomes on malaria infections. A new video spotlights the paths that can follow.

In Kenya, the Unitaid-funded AEGIS project is rolling out spatial repellents where malaria rates are high. Early signs point to a breakthrough. Breakthroughs like these are critical in the fight against malaria.

Every minute, a child dies from #malaria, and #climatechange is making it harder to predict and control. Children are most affected by malaria, yet their voices can be the most unheard. It's time to Change the Story. #ZeroMalaria @ZeroMalaria
ALT 76% of lives lost to malaria are children under five.

On #WorldHealthDay, let's remember: Health is a fundamental human right for all, including refugees, forcibly displaced and stateless people.

WHO-recommended life-saving #malaria vaccines will soon be reach children through routine immunization programmes across Africa, beginning with Cameroon.
This is a historic step towards wider vaccination against one of the deadliest diseases for African children bit.ly/3OvjyKh

🦟 #Dengue, a viral infection transmitted by #mosquitoes, has become an alarming global #epidemic, affecting millions of lives across continents.
👉🏿The current surge in dengue cases demands our attention and understanding more than ever.

@sah_harvey shared compelling interventional study data & riveting stories that underpinned the message of education doesn’t lead to behavior change unless community perspectives are understood. #dengue #socialsciences

Fresh off the press: @WHO's World Malaria Report highlights the urgent need for R&D in malaria response. Unitaid remains committed to enhancing the malaria toolbox and aiding countries in their fight against this disease.

I'm really excited to share the interim results of a strongly significant positive outcome in the efficacy of spatial repellents in reducing malaria incidence in children and all the progress on the overall @AEGISProgram @KEMRI_Kenya
At @pamcafrica, researchers share trial data confirming the 12-month efficacy of @SCJohnson Guardian spatial repellent. Many partners involved in developing/scaling this innovation, incl:@UNITAID @ndeckinstitute @JohnsHopkinsCCP @fhi360 @CatholicRelief @KEMRI_Kenya @MinofHealthUG

Unitaid is on the forefront of efforts to enable new and underused tools to be quickly and affordably deployed and widely scaled up. With @AEGISProgram, we seek to generate further evidence about spatial repellents as a complementary vector control tool for malaria prevention.
