Estimated cost and operational structure of pgSIT malaria vector control programs in selected West African countries by William A.C. Gendron, Robyn Raban, Agastya Mondal, Héctor M. Sánchez C, David Zilberman, Patrick G.C. Ilboudo, Umberto D’Alessandro, John M. Marshall, Omar S. Akbari

“…Our previous studies showed that this intervention is expected to be highly cost-effective in a malaria endemic region of West Africa, but these estimates used only 15-31% capacity for sex sorting, which is the limiting production step and a primary cost. We, therefore, determined the most cost efficient facility size by calculating the cost per million Anopheles gambiae suppressed as the facility was scaled up to suppress more mosquitoes. …”
