Platform contribution 

EMCA would like to acknowledge the MAGIC Evidence Ecosystem Foundation for their support in the consolidation of the Guidelines on the MAGICapp platform.

 

Sponsors

This investigation/activity received financial support from TDR, the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases co-sponsored by UNICEF, UNDP, the World Bank and WHO. TDR is able to conduct its work thanks to the commitment and support from a variety of funders. These include our long-term core contributors from national governments and international institutions, as well as designated funding for specific projects within our current priorities.

Abstract

This document is a PDF generated from the EMCA guidelines for mosquito control hosted on the MAGICapp online platform: https://app.magicapp.org/#/guideline/jDRvgn. Each time the content of the platform is updated, a new PDF version of the Guidelines will be downloadable on the EMCA website to facilitate access where the Internet is not available. Users should note the downloaded PDFs of the Guidelines may be outdated and not contain the latest recommendations. Please consult with the website for the most up-to-date version of the Guidelines.
