The Pan-Africa Mosquito Control Association (PAMCA) is an international organization of research scientists dedicated to vector control and elimination of diseases like malaria. [3] The organization also aims to spread information on the study of mosquitoes [4] and connect Africans from across the continent. [5] PAMCA was first established in Kenya, and has chapter offices located across Africa including 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. [6] They also organize conferences where entomologists discuss topics in mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue, malaria, and yellow fever. [7]
