The paper identifies insecticides that affect both mosquito vectors and malaria parasites, demonstrating a scalable method to find compounds that kill mosquitoes and suppress parasite transmission.

This study validates the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) for detecting and characterizing Anopheles stephensi and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes from larval breeding sites using multiplex TaqMan assays and amplicon-sequencing panels.
