Scientists develop bed nets with new drugs to combat malaria, set for field tests in Ethiopia.
Researchers from the Southwest Research Institute, Harvard, and OHSU have developed bed nets that deliver antimalarial drugs called Endochin-like Quinolones (ELQs) to kill malaria-causing parasites in mosquitoes.
The drugs, which are absorbed through the mosquitoes' legs, aim to reduce resistance to traditional pesticides and larvicides.
The study, published in Nature, suggests the treated nets could provide a cheaper and longer-lasting alternative to current treatments.
Field tests in Ethiopia are planned for later this year.
