Anopheles minimus, the major vector of malaria in north-east India, is disappearing fast evidenced by reduced levels of malaria transmission and morbidity. An. minimus is a species complex comprising three sibling species of which An. minimus s.s., formally named as An. minimus, is recorded to occur in east and north-east India. It is highly anthropophilic and responsible for fulminating outbreaks of malaria evidenced by incrimination records in range of its distribution. For its control, DDT continues to be the insecticide of choice for indoor residual spraying; however, populations are highly resilient in response to residual insecticides for paradigm shift in vector behaviour from indoor resting to outdoors resulting in continued transmission. Extra-domiciliary transmission of malaria is a challenge for which newer interventions, viz., attractive toxic sugar bait, eave-tube technology, nano-synthesized pesticides, new adult repellents, oviposition deterrents need to be field-evaluated under local geo-epidemiological conditions. To keep vector populations at bay, it is advocated to upscale interventions for 'universal coverage' of human populations at risk to check malaria transmission and spread of drug-resistant malaria. specialized PALUDISME TRANSMISSION LUTTE INSECTICIDE CHIMIQUE VECTEUR ECOETHOLOGIE PROJET DE RECHERCHE BIONOMIE INDE 052LUTIN03 052ANOPAL04 Dev V. ed. edt IRD 33-42 New Delhi The National Academy of Sciences 2020 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010080128 978-81-905548-8-6 [F B010080128] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010080128 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/divers20-10/010080128.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2020-10-21 2020-12-01 fdi:010080128 fre
