Exceptional global efforts to fight malaria have greatly reduced the disease burden by more than 500 million cases since 2000 in sub-Saharan Africa.1 These gains are partly ascribed to vector control using long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying—core interventions within the framework of integrated vector management2—thus renewing the optimism and prioritisation of universal coverage for vector control in the Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016–2030.3 The 70th World Health Assembly approved the Global Vector Control Response 2017–2030 that set ambitious but attainable goals, and prioritised four strategic approaches, including evidence-driven scale-up and integration of vector control tools to maximize the effect on disease and reinvigorate vector control.
