Inside the AIRID Insectary: Supporting Reliable Vector-Control Research

The AIRID insectary maintains diverse susceptible and insecticide-resistant mosquito strains under carefully controlled conditions to support high-quality vector-control research.

These strains enable the evaluation of multiple vector-control products—including next-generation insecticide-treated nets, indoor residual spraying formulations and spatial emanators—designed to improve the control of insecticide-resistant mosquito populations.

Through cone bioassays, tunnel tests, flight-room experiments and other standardised testing methods, our teams generate robust and reliable evidence to support the development of effective vector-control tools.

Continuous monitoring of environmental conditions, colony fitness and resistance status ensures that every stage is underpinned by rigorous quality standards and GLP-compliant procedures.
