Insectary in a box
The Africa Indoor Residual Spraying Programme (Airs)
Prevention
Mali
The Africa Indoor Residual Spraying Programme (Airs) have built an 'insectary in a box', using a 40 foot x 8 foot shipping container. Airs had planned an indoor residual spraying intervention in Mali, but when Malian soldiers overthrew the central government, Airs had to carry out their work independently of established government partners. They therefore built a mini, mobile insectary at the Airs compound in Bamako. The container was purchased locally and converted into an insectary for less than US$20,000, proving a cost-effective solution to carrying out entomological monitoring and improving the quality of indoor residual spraying
