TLDR
Key ecological obstacles that limit the effectiveness of vector control include the variation in mosquito behavior, development of insecticide resistance, presence of behavioral avoidance, high vector biodiversity, competitive and food web interactions, lack of insights on mosquito dispersal and mating behavior, and the impact of environmental changes on mosquito ecological traits.About:

The economic and social burden of malaria
TL;DR: There are multiple channels by which malaria impedes development, including effects on fertility, population growth, saving and investment, worker productivity, absenteeism, premature mortality and medical costs.

TL;DR: It is found that Plasmodium falciparum infection prevalence in endemic Africa halved and the incidence of clinical disease fell by 40% between 2000 and 2015, and interventions have averted 663 (542–753 credible interval) million clinical cases since 2000.

Insecticide‐treated bed nets and curtains for preventing malaria
TL;DR: ITNs are highly effective in reducing childhood mortality and morbidity from malaria, but universal deployment will require major financial, technical, and operational inputs.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Economic Burden of Malaria
TL;DR: It is speculated about the mechanisms that could cause malaria to have such a large impact on the economy, such as foreign investment and economic networks within the country, and a second independent measure of malaria has a slightly higher correlation with economic growth in the 1980-1996 period.
