“There’s a need for new tools to complement what’s already available and to protect people during times, and in settings, where people are at risk but net use is not feasible,” says CCP’s April Monroe, who is part of the $33.7 million grant from Unitaid.

Mosquitoes are becoming immune to the insecticide used in the nets, endangering entire communities in malaria-endemic areas. Insecticide-treated nets are still a
