Empowering communities for malaria control: Effectiveness of community-led biolarviciding using Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis in The Gambia
Seasonal Bti application, especially when led by trained community members, significantly suppresses <i>Anopheles</i> populations. Although expert-supervised methods yielded slightly higher efficacy, community-led biolarviciding offers a scalable, sustainable, and environmentally safe vector control strategy, supporting The Gambia's malaria elimination goals.
