Vector control with long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying accounts for most of the 1·3 billion fewer malaria cases and 6·8 million fewer malaria-related deaths attributable to declining transmission between 2000 and 2015.^1–3 However, because resistance to pyrethroid insecticides has spread through African malaria vector populations, concerns over maintaining these gains have been widely voiced—but these are frequently disputed.⁴ The findings presented by Natacha Protopopoff and colleagues⁵ in The Lancet provide rigorous, long overdue, new evidence for those working in the field of malaria vector control.

抗杀虫剂的疟疾媒介必须得到解决

长效杀虫蚊帐和室内滞留喷洒占大多数的1•3十亿较少的疟疾病例和6·800万减少与疟疾有关的死亡归因于2000年到2015年之间下降传输矢量控制^1-3然而，由于电阻拟除虫菊酯类杀虫剂已经在非洲的疟疾媒介人群中传播，人们对维持这些收益的担忧已广为人知，但这些争议经常存在。⁴ Natacha Protopopoff及其同事⁵在《柳叶刀》杂志上发表的研究结果为那些在疟疾媒介控制领域工作的人们提供了严格的，过期的新证据。
