Solutions
Mission driven science
A dedicated portfolio of proven solutions that help prevent malaria and improve the lives of those most affected by the disease.
Core Products
Quality-assured vector control in 4 technology quadrants: Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs), Indoor Residual Sprays (IRS), Anti-Malarials, used in Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) and Perennial Malaria Chemoprevention (PMC) programs.
Neonet™
- New insecticide incorporation (within the yarn) technology
- New knitting technology to address the durability concerns in field use due to attrition
- High bio-efficiency that works against the most common species of Anopheles mosquitoes
- Durability of 3 years in field use
Neonet NG™
- Dual-treated bednets enhance effectiveness against mosquitoes
- Durability of 3 years in field use
- High bio-efficiency that works against the most common species of Anopheles mosquitoes
- Dual AI bednet designed to combat and abate insecticide resistance
Codispaq™
- Improved intake format – chewable to avoid any disease caused by unsafe water
- Intermittent administration of a full dose of an anti-malarial medicine
- Unique flavor to increase adherence among children below five, who tend to spit out current bitter versions
Durus™
- Has improved storage stability achieved by CS micro-encapsulation
- Twice the IRS residual effect (up to 17-22 months) compared to products in market
- Low toxicity because of micro-capsules
- Lowered chances of insecticidal resistance as compared to pyrethroids
Emerging Solutions
In the effort to transition from malaria control to elimination, WHO is expanding the vector control toolbox. We expect larval source management to be more widely implemented across Sub-Saharan Africa.
Bacitin
- Bacillus Thuringiensis Israelensis (BTI) is a naturally occurring bacterium found in soil
- Targets larvae of the mosquito, blackfly and fungus gnat
- Sprayed over stagnant water, rice fields, ponds and irrigation ditches
- Non-toxic to humans and other wildlife
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on why they backed Landcent
Active Ingredient (AI) Discovery Platform
A unique Landcent initiative to combat the threat of insecticidal resistance and safeguard biodiversity and habitats.
Landcent’s Active Ingredient (AI) Discovery Platform investigates without judgement and bias, natural and indigenous knowledge bases, for active ingredients to be eventually developed into biopesticides.
Biopesticides constitute naturally occurring organisms or substances derived from them that have lifespan-shortening effects on disease vectors such as mosquitoes.
Prioritizing Biosafety
Over 230,000 natural compounds screened in 2 years, by a team of 12 scientists, toxicology experts and laboratory staff.
- Biopesticides are usually less toxic than conventional pesticides.
- They tend to affect only the target pest, are often effective in very small quantities.
- Biopesticides generally decompose quickly.
- Complex scaffolds of natural occurring compounds would make vector resistance less likely.
AU-EU Initiative
Landcent has launched an AU-EU Research Partnership to investigate “Cochlospermum Tinctorium” for potential AIs to develop Indigenous vector control recipes.
RLS Partnership
Partnership with RLS India, to explore the use of Micelle Technology for use in treated bednets and indoor residual sprays.
SIOC Laboratory
Funded by Landcent & BMGF, the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC) has screened over 230,000 compounds from natural database libraries.
Invest with us
Landcent offers a unique, de-risked investment opportunity for impact investors to join the mission to eliminate poverty-related diseases, starting with malaria. Our collective efforts can break the vicious cycle of poverty and disease for the poorest in the world.
Sourcing for Impact
A significant part of Landcent's history has been to provide "Sourcing as a Service" for supplemental income. We reinvest these profits in research and development for our malaria products. In addition to sourcing high-quality laboratory consumables, diagnostic kits, and instruments, we also guarantee a resilient supply chain.
