In endemic countries, the disease has become complicated to control as a result of vectors developing resistance against pyrethroid insecticide products.However, much effort is geared towards treatment and control of the disease than the vector. In this book, we provide new information about the malaria vector An.funestus, which is quite efficient in contracting and transmitting malaria parasites.The analysis should provide new direction of malaria control strategies to the professional experts working on malaria programs in sub-Saharan Africa.
