Mosquito control
Run time: 11.30 – 17.00
Mosquitoes are tiny but bloodthirsty and deadly serious.
Meet researchers from Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and the Innovative Vector Control Consortium and discover the tools they use to tackle malaria.
Learn about mosquito control technologies from the past, present and future – from insecticides that have prevented millions of malaria deaths, to genetic modification strategies that can turn mosquitoes into their own worst enemy.
Try sleeping under a bed net, find out how to design houses to repel mosquitoes, and watch genetically modified mosquito larvae glow.
Be inspired to join the fight against the deadliest animal in the world.
