From preventive strategies like environmental modifications and dual active-ingredient (AI) insecticide-treated bed nets to addressing cultural and healthcare access gaps, our discussion paints a comprehensive picture of the current landscape and future directions. We also reflect on the insights from the 2024 World Malaria Report, emphasizing the pressing need for increased funding to drive these global efforts forward.Support the showFollow the show on:Twitter: @RootofscipodInstagram: @Rootofscipod YouTube: The Root Of The Science PodcastFacebook: The Root of The Science Podcast LinkedIn: The Root Of The Science PodcastWebsite
