Resistance monitoring is key in efforts to mitigate the effects of insecticide resistance in malaria endemic countries. Since 2012, IR Mapper has committed to consolidating and visualising data on insecticide resistance from peer reviewed published literature, with monthly updates. Data are centralised onto user-friendly, filterable maps to aid in informing the deployment of the most effective insecticidal tools in target geographical areas.

In 2020, IR Mapper partnered with the Geospatial Modelling of Insect Vectors group (GMIV), within the Big Data Institute at the University of Oxford, to address gaps in data in Sub-Saharan Africa. IR Mapper was able to use their maps that predict localised variation in insecticide resistance and the probability that malaria vector populations will exceed resistance thresholds to fill its own gaps relating to monitoring activities.
