Creating a low-cost repellent-treated sandal that provides round-the-clock protection against mosquito borne infections; Dengue, Zika, Chikungunya and Malaria Descrição: The emergence and re-emergence of major mosquito-borne infections has rejuvenated the need for more aggressive targeting of these mosquitoes for control, and possibly elimination. Diseases such as Dengue, Chikungunya and more recently Zika present major public health, but also global security concerns. Together with malaria, which still kills 480,000 annually, mostly African children, disease-transmitting mosquitoes have become by far the world?s deadliest organisms. Local epidemiology of these diseases vary, and current tools are increasingly reaching their limits. For example, long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS), have jointly contributed ~78% of all gains accrued against malaria since 2000, but will be insufficient to eliminate the disease. LLINs and IRS predominantly target indoor-biting and indoor-resting mosquitoes, yet dominant vectors are increasingly biting outdoors before times when bed nets are used, and the mosquitoes are also increasingly resistant to the insecticides used. Thus appropriate low-cost tools are needed to proactively prevent outbreaks and control infections. For maximum cost-effectiveness, scalability and useracceptability, such new approaches should be integrated against all or most mosquito-borne infections, and be implementable alongside existing measures. Mosquitoes predominantly bite people around the feet and ankles, and protecting the lower limbs of individual?s results in up to 65% reduction in mosquito bites. We propose to exploit this mosquito behaviour and use footwear as a platform to release highly effective wide-area spatial mosquito repellents, creating full-time protection against both day-biting and nitght-biting mosquitoes at individual and household level. We will create low-cost repellent-tre
