Premier Consultancy in Malaria Entomological Surveillance and Vector Control

With over 10 years of distinguished experience, ResearchLink International (RLI) is a leading professional consultancy and advisory organization specializing in malaria entomology and vector control. Rooted in scientific excellence and operational expertise, we offer comprehensive services that span advanced surveillance, evidence-based intervention deployment, and capacity strengthening—helping partners achieve sustainable malaria control and elimination.

Our Expertise and Services

Malaria Entomological Surveillance
We deliver advanced field and laboratory surveillance to accurately monitor mosquito populations, species composition, and insecticide resistance patterns. Our molecular identification capabilities—including PCR diagnostics—provide precise vector species confirmation, essential for effective control strategy design.

Vector Control Intervention Implementation
RLI has extensive experience rolling out targeted interventions such as:

• Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS)

• Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) distribution and monitoring

• Larviciding and biolarviciding using microbial agents (e.g., Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis)
  All executed with strict adherence to WHO best practices and tailored to ecological and epidemiological contexts.

Integrated Vector Management (IVM)
We provide strategic consultation on IVM approaches that blend chemical, biological, environmental management, and community engagement components. Our holistic frameworks optimize resource use and intervention synergy for maximum impact. More on Integrated Vector Management.

Mosquito Bionomics and Behavior Studies
Our expertise includes in-depth studies on mosquito feeding, resting behaviors, density, and distribution patterns—critical to understanding malaria transmission dynamics and tailoring vector control measures effectively. Learn about recent research led by RLI.

Field Operations and Project Management
We oversee large-scale field campaigns ensuring timely delivery, quality compliance, and robust monitoring and evaluation. Our operational specialists coordinate across diverse teams and stakeholders for seamless implementation.

Laboratory Services
Our laboratory capabilities encompass species molecular diagnostics, insecticide susceptibility bioassays, resistance mechanism elucidation, and quality assurance. These services support adaptive management in vector control programs.

Capacity Building and Policy Advisory
RLI provides technical training to entomologists, field technicians, community health workers, and policymakers to build local competence and sustainability. Our policy advisory fosters integration of advanced vector control technologies into national programs.

Showcasing Our Impact: Tanzania and Namibia

Tanzania
In partnership with the Ministry of Health and global entities like the World Health Organization, RLI has led extensive malaria entomology research and practical vector interventions. Our projects include nationwide IRS campaigns, LLIN distributions, and entomological monitoring that contributed significantly to malaria burden reductions in endemic regions.

Namibia
Working closely with the Ministry of Health and Social Sciences, RLI has been pivotal in establishing Namibia’s first malaria entomological surveillance program. Our advisory role in rolling out IRS, LLINs, larviciding, and innovative house modification strategies has enhanced vector control efficacy. We spearheaded mosquito bionomics studies informing tailored interventions critical for Namibia’s malaria elimination goals. See research publications here: Namibia entomological surveillance.

The NamTan Vector Control Initiative

This flagship collaborative project between Namibia and Tanzania exemplifies RLI’s commitment to regional innovation and sustainability. The initiative focuses on scaling up biolarviciding as an environmentally safe, effective complementary malaria control tool integrated into existing IVM strategies.

• Vision: Malaria-free communities through innovative, sustainable, and collaborative vector control.

• Mission: Share expertise, scale up biolarviciding, build local capacity, and foster malaria policy integration in Namibia and Tanzania.

Key activities include larval habitat mapping, community training in biolarvicide application, and monitoring mosquito and malaria incidence trends. This initiative reduces reliance on chemical insecticides, addresses resistance challenges, and strengthens cross-border cooperation.

Leadership and Scientific Excellence

ResearchLink International is guided by Dr. Deodatus Maliti, a Senior Research Scientist and Vector Control Specialist with a PhD from the University of Glasgow. Dr. Maliti brings extensive expertise in ecological and genetic determinants of malaria vector behavior, a strong publication record—including key articles—and decades of leadership in advancing vector control research and implementation in East and Southern Africa.

Under his direction, RLI has collaborated with global partners including the World Health Organization, Global Fund, and Clinton Health Access Initiative to drive impactful malaria control initiatives. Our team’s robust proposal development, scientific mentoring, and international networking capabilities enhance client project effectiveness.
