is to find short term as well as long term solutions to the problems
of malaria through basic, applied and operational field research.
The Institute also plays a key role in man power resource
development through trainings/workshops and transfer of technology.
The major areas of research carried out
over the years are on mosquito fauna surveys, development of genetic
and molecular markers for important malaria vectors and parasites,
cytotaxonomic studies identifying major vectors as species complexes
and laboratory and field studies to examine the biological
variations among sibling species, development of molecular
identification techniques for sibling species, monitoring of
insecticide resistance through space and time, climate change
impacts, preparation of action plans, etc. have yielded valuable
information. Field evaluation of new insecticides, biolarvicides,
insecticide-impregnated bed nets, drugs and parasite diagnostic kits
have provided new armament to malaria control. Many of these have
found place in national malaria control programme.
