SubsidieMeestersMosquito-specific phagostimulants and pheromones for environment-friendly mosquito vector control
Molecular Attraction aims to evaluate the efficacy and environmental impact of innovative mosquito-specific semiochemicals in sub-Saharan Africa to enhance vector control and reduce disease burden.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Each year, chemicals worth €8bn are used for Mosquito Vector Control (MVC). Still, mosquito-borne diseases constitute a major socio-economic burden. As insecticides start losing efficacy and toxic chemicals are being banned from use (in the west in particular), we are becoming increasingly defenseless. By 2050, an additional 1bn people will be at risk of contracting at least one mosquito-borne disease due to the rapid expansion of habitats of mosquito vectors.
Company Overview
Molecular Attraction is a pioneer in mosquito-specific phagostimulants and pheromones. We can control mosquito behaviour using minute quantities of highly effective, affordable, and perfectly green semiochemicals.
Project Description
In the project, we will conduct a large-scale trial in sub-Saharan Africa to evaluate the following:
- Efficacy
- Cost-effectiveness
- Environmental impact of our unique blends.
The trial results will be leveraged to enter the global MVC market.
