00:00A fast-moving invasive mosquito is raising alarm across Africa, as scientists warn it could fuel a resurgence of malaria
00:09in major cities.
00:11The mosquito, known as Anaphyllis stephensi, is unlike traditional malaria carriers.
00:18It thrives in densely populated urban areas, breeding in water containers around homes and buildings, making it far harder to
00:26control.
00:27Even more concerning, the species has developed resistance to nearly every major insecticide currently used to fight mosquitoes, undermining one
00:36of the world's most effective malaria control strategies.
00:40Health experts fear its rapid spread could put millions more people at risk of infection, particularly in growing African cities
00:48where malaria has historically been less common.
00:50Scientists are now racing to find new ways to stop the mosquito, from biological controls to innovative technologies and next
00:59-generation insecticides.
