Rising temperatures also favor the migration of tropical vectors to regions to which they were previously not native. Sustainable solutions from Bayer CropScience for effective vector control in developing countries and emerging economies include new long-lasting formulations for indoor residual spraying, functional insecticide treated textiles and rotational use of alternative insecticides for resistance management programs.
Bayer CropScience opens up its substance library for the first time
Besides the burgeoning populations of vectors, the increasing resistance of these vectors to established insecticides is also a major problem worldwide. This is why Bayer CropScience and the Innovative Vector Control Consortium in Liverpool, United Kingdom, are cooperating closely on developing a new insecticide research platform. The researchers' aim is to find new, resistance-busting active ingredients which, as “Public Health Products”, are effective against mosquitoes.
This “lighthouse project” is an element of the Bayer Climate Program to which Bayer CropScience brings the experience it has built up over decades in the field of both chemical synthesis and insecticide research. What makes this cooperation special is that, for the first time in its history, the company will open up its substance library, one of the biggest in the world, for a cooperative project. Both partners see research into resistance-busting active ingredients as a major contribution to overcoming the consequences of climate change in the field of vector-borne diseases. The IVCC is a Product Development Partnership focused on developing new insecticides for public health vector control and improved information systems and tools which will enable pesticides to be used more effectively. The IVCC is also represented at this year's PAMC.
