Integrated Mosquito Management for Malaria Control

By Rebekah Hawkins | Assistant Director

Integrated Mosquito Management for Malaria Control in Ouelessebougou
June – December 2024

Overview
Malaria remains a critical public health issue in Mali, particularly in the Ouelessebougou region. The Ouelessebougou Alliance (OA), in collaboration with the University of Bamako, Salt Lake City Mosquito Abatement District (SLCMAD), and Anastasia Mosquito Control District (AMCD), implemented a Western Integrated Mosquito Management (WIMM) program in eight villages to reduce malaria transmission. Through a combination of environmental management, biological control, chemical interventions, and community engagement, we have taken significant steps toward combating this disease.

Key Achievements

  • 58 community education sessions on malaria prevention, reaching hundreds of villagers.
  • Targeted interventions in four villages, including larvicides, adulticides, and insecticide spraying.
  • Over 12,000 mosquito samples collected, allowing for better data-driven decision-making.
  • Weekly village visits and hut sprayings to ensure continuous mosquito control.

Impact on Malaria Transmission

  • Significant reduction in mosquito populations: Intervention villages saw a 42% decrease in malaria-carrying Anopheles mosquitoes compared to non-intervention villages.
  • Improved community participation: Residents actively engaged in removing standing water and adopting better prevention measures.

Your Support Matters!
Donor contributions are essential to continuing this life-saving work. Your support helps fund mosquito control efforts, provide critical health education, and protect vulnerable communities. Together, we can make a lasting impact in the fight against malaria.
