First seen Feb 04, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study tests a new device called LASER Guardian that releases chemicals to keep mosquitoes away from homes. Researchers will compare it to indoor insecticide spraying and standard prevention methods (like bed nets) in 69 villages in western Kenya. Over two years, they will check about 4,500 children aged 1-15 for malaria every six months to see which approach works best.
