BASF is preparing to introduce mosquito nets that feature the pyrrole insecticide chlorfenapyr, which according to the company is the first completely new insecticide for malaria prevention to be recommended by the World Health Organization in 30 years.

The introduction is timely, the firm says, because in some areas malaria-carrying mosquitoes are developing resistance to standard pyrethroid insecticides.
