Electric destroyer of anopheles ’ larvae for vector control in malaria

The emergences of insecticide resistance in Anopheles and drug resistance in plasmodium have become a matter of great concern for malaria control in Africa South of Sahara. So many solutions have been applied except any electromagnetic challenge. Electromagnetic field can be fatal for all living being. In larval stage Anopheles are very vulnerable. We learn from Malapterurus electricus catfish the mastering of a tool that imitates the electric organ discharges (EOD) which the catfish uses to kill victims in fresh water. The given tool devastates Anopheles’ larvae massively and spontaneously whatever their number. Hot water of more than 42 °C only can kill mosquitoes’ larvae, but the electric field destroys them even at 26 °C for the temperature of the water in the tool.
