The Pan-Africa Mosquito Control Association (PAMCA) is an international organization of research scientists dedicated to vector control and elimination of diseases like malaria.[4] The organization also aims to spread information on the study of mosquitoes[5] and connect Africans from across the continent.[6] PAMCA was first established in Kenya, and has chapter offices located in Tanzania and Nigeria.[2]
PAMCA works with organizations including KEMRI and the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) in Tanzania to form networks and collaborate on research projects.[7] They also organize conferences where entomologists discuss topics in mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, malaria, and yellow fever.[8][9]
