Relevant news is the recent explosion of the Anopheles stephensi species of mosquito. It infects during the day, so bednets don't help. It's resistant to all insecticides. And unlike usual, it thrives in cities and in the dry season. Here's a recent article:
A malaria-carrying species that thrives in urban areas and resists all insecticides is causing outbreaks in places that have rarely faced the disease.
[...] It is now breeding in locations across the center of the continent, and entomologists say further spread is inevitable.
Africa has expertise and strategies to fight malaria as a rural disease but now faces the threat of urban outbreaks, putting vastly more people at risk and threatening to wipe away recent progress against malaria, which still kills 620,000 people each year, mostly in Africa. Although some mosquito experts say it is too soon to be certain of the magnitude of the threat, the potential for outbreaks in cities, they fear, may set up a competition between urban and rural areas for scarce resources to fight the disease.
