Dissemination
All AEGIS partners will engage with donors, National Malaria Control Programs, and various Roll Back Malaria and World Health Organization working groups to advocate for the use of spatial repellents as a complementary vector control intervention to existing ones and contribute to developing World Health Organization guidelines for testing spatial repellents for malaria and Aedes-borne virus control and operational use. Project findings will be disseminated through international, national and local meetings, publication of manuscripts, and engagement with civil society organizations, Ministries of Health, as well as local, regional, and international stakeholders.
