Endectocides as a complementary intervention in the malaria control program: a systematic review

Ivermectin and other endectocides could soon serve as novel malaria transmission control tools by reducing the longevity ofAnopheles mosquitoes that feed on treated hosts, potentially decreasingPlasmodium parasite transmission when used as mass drug administration (MDA).
