dc.description.abstract	Malaria is a global health problem and its burden is high in the sub-Saharan countries. The mainstay control of malaria is by use of chemical insecticides against malaria mosquitoes. However, resistance to pyrethroids has been reported in both Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles funestus in many malaria endemic countries in Africa. Additionally, parasite resistance has rendered previous antimalarial medicines ineffective in most parts of the world, threatening malaria control. These scenarios call for alternative strategies for malaria control. To date, many successful laboratory studies have demonstrated the potential of using entomopathogenic fungi against malaria mosquitoes.	en_US
