flag Scientists develop bed nets with new drugs to combat malaria, set for field tests in Ethiopia.

flag 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. flag The drugs, which are absorbed through the mosquitoes' legs, aim to reduce resistance to traditional pesticides and larvicides. flag The study, published in Nature, suggests the treated nets could provide a cheaper and longer-lasting alternative to current treatments. flag Field tests in Ethiopia are planned for later this year.
