Is biological larviciding against malaria a starting point for integrated multi-disease control? Observations from a cluster randomized trial in rural Burkina Faso.

<h4>Objectives</h4>To evaluate the impact of anti-malaria biological larviciding with Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis on non-primary target mosquito species in a rural African setting.<h4>Methods</h4>A total of 127 villages were distributed in three study arms, each with d...
