Why We Stopped Making Progress on Malaria

The video discusses the ongoing battle against malaria, highlighting the disease's impact on children in Africa and the growing resistance of mosquitoes to insecticides. Despite past successes with bed nets and insecticides, mosquitoes have adapted, necessitating new strategies. Scientists are exploring enzyme-related resistance mechanisms and innovative solutions like PBO, which can enhance the effectiveness of existing insecticides. The video emphasizes the importance of rotating insecticides to prevent further resistance and presents promising results from recent studies in Ghana.
