He gave the Pfizer Prize for research on mosquito malaria transmission

The Royal Society has just awarded the 2013 Pfizer Award and a $ 95,000 prize to Burkina Faso scientist, Abdoulaye Diabate, about the study of malaria transmission.

>>>Malaria vaccine test has achieved positive results

The study helped to find a way to kill these dangerous insects through their breeding patterns.

Dr. Abdoulaye's work focuses primarily on the reproductive patterns of male mosquitoes.

Understanding the law of mosquito breeding is to focus each herd on one place every day for mating during the breeding season, this scientist suggests that this will be the best time to prevent their fertility.

Diabate said that if it succeeds in killing male mosquitoes, there will be a large imbalance in male and female mosquitoes.

Because female mosquitoes need male mosquitoes to breed, so when male mosquitoes are destroyed, there is no breeding process and this helps reduce the number of mosquitoes.

The study also helped find new techniques to control mosquitoes , such as mosquito treatment and insect killing techniques.

Professor Brian Greenwood - member of the Recruiting Committee, said the development of new ways to control malaria transmission is important because of the method of using mosquito nets impregnated with mosquito-killing chemicals. is gradually losing its effectiveness.

According to statistics, malaria causes about 660,000 people to die each year, most of them children.
