Our Mission
To develop high-quality biotechnology products that improve public health and agriculture.
Over the years, a variety of methods and substances have been used to control mosquito larvae, which represent the early stages of the life cycle of these insects and which always develop in an aquatic habitat. As mosquito infestations are especially harmful when human settlements are located in ecosystems with inadequate environmental health conditions, or with poor or insufficient primary health care structures. The epidemiological consequences brought by these insects have been made more serious by human migrations in the natural quest for better living conditions, so that mosquito species that fed only on animals also started to feed on human blood. This in turn has produced ecological imbalances in the natural centres of infections affecting man. Mosquitoes are adaptable and most dtext-darkfully in tropical regions
Through scientific innovation and local manufacturing, TBPL contributes to malaria control initiatives, integrated pest management, and environmental sustainability throughout Tanzania and Africa.
