Today, malaria prevention hinges upon two domestic interventions: insecticide-treated bed nets and indoor residual spraying. As mosquitoes grow resistant to these tools, however, novel approaches to vector control have become a priority area of malaria research and development. Spatial repellency, a volumetric mode of action that seeks to reduce disease transmission by creating an atmosphere inimical to mosquitoes, represents one way forward. Drawing from research that sought to develop new repellent chemicals in conversation with users from sub-Saharan Africa and the United States, we consider the implications of a non-insecticidal paradigm of vector control for how we understand the political ecology of malaria.
如今，疟疾预防依赖于两种国内干预措施：经杀虫剂处理的蚊帐和室内滞留喷洒。然而，随着蚊子对这些工具产生抗药性，新的病媒控制方法已成为疟疾研究与开发的一个优先领域。空间驱避是一种通过营造不利于蚊子生存的环境来减少疾病传播的作用方式，是前进的一条途径。基于与撒哈拉以南非洲和美国的用户共同研发新型驱虫化学品的研究，我们思考了非杀虫病媒控制模式对我们理解疟疾政治生态学的影响。
