Abstract
The potential use of ivermectin as an additional vector control
tool is receiving increased attention from the malaria
elimination community, driven by the increased importance of
outdoor/residual malaria transmission and the threat of
insecticide resistance where vector tools have been scaled-up.
This report summarizes the emerging evidence presented at a side
meeting on "Ivermectin for malaria elimination: current status
and future directions" at the annual meeting of the American
Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene in New Orleans on
November 4, 2014. One outcome was the creation of the
"Ivermectin Research for Malaria Elimination Network" whose main
goal is to establish a common research agenda to generate the
evidence base on whether ivermectin-based strategies should be
added to the emerging arsenal to interrupt malaria transmission.
