Abstract:

Bibliography: leaves 100-103.<br>The use of Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs) has already proved to be a cost effective way of malaria vector control. The important emphasis now should therefore be on how to increase the accessibility and utilization of the mosquito nets through devising viable ﬁnancing and promotional mechanisms that are sustainable and equitable in the long run. One way of ﬁnancing ITNs that has been propounded by the Roll Back Malaria (REM) has been the issue of the reduction or elimination of tariffs and domestic taxes on ITNs and their inputs.

Abstract:

Malaria is a vector-borne disease that presents the most persistent and serious public health burden in Liberia. Numerous studies have examined the relationship between ITN use and malaria prevalence. However, little research has explored the effectiveness of ITNs in controlling malaria among children in postwar Liberia. The aim of this study was to examine the association between ITN ownership, parental economic status, ITN installation support, and malaria prevalence among children. This was a quantitative cross-sectional study guided by the health belief model. The study used secondary data

Background: The effect of Malaria attack on maternal and child health in Nigeria is high compared with other countries in sub Saharan Africa. This problem has been a persistent issue in Nigeria and many researchers have tried to proffer solutions. Insecticide treated nets (ITN) have been identified as providing approximately 80% protection against malaria attack. However, all the measures put in place to control malaria failed to meet up with the set target of the Roll Back Malaria Initiative, which aimed at reducing malaria deaths in Nigeria by half by 2010 in line with the Millennium Develop

Abstract:

Background: Insecticide treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are the preferred techniques for malaria vector control in Africa, where their application has already contributed to significant reductions in the burden of the disease. Even though both methods are commonly used together in the same households, evidence of greater health benefits due to these combinations as opposed to use of either ITNs or IRS alone has been minimal and inconclusive.

Abstract:

Background: Malaria causes over 400,000 estimated deaths annually worldwide, with about 90% in sub-Saharan Africa. Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are two vector-control interventions proven to reduce malaria transmission, but their use together compared to separate has shown mixed results. Methodology: We used a mathematical model to examine the impact of LLINs and IRS on malaria transmission. Time-series analyses and basic reproductive numbers (R0) were developed using MATLAB. We also assessed IRS timing and performed a sensitivity analysis on R0.

Therefore, it is essential to ascertain how much the average rural household is willing to pay for a family-size ITN.

Abstract:

Malaria continues to cause significant mortality in sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere, and existing vector control measures are being threatened by growing resistance to pyrethroid insecticides. With the goal of developing new human-safe, resistance-breaking insecticides we have explored several classes of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. In vitro assay studies demonstrate that tri- and difluoromethyl ketones can potentially inhibit An. gambiae AChE (AgAChE). These compounds inhibit the enzyme by making a covalent adduct with the catalytic serine of AChE. Trifluoromethyl ketones however are

Abstract:

Malaria is one of the deadliest diseases known to mankind. In 2010, 219 million cases were reported, and 666,000 deaths were attributed to this disease. In the past, pyrethroid-treated mosquito nets have shown efficacy in reducing malaria transmission in many malaria endemic regions. However, an upsurge in the mosquito population that is resistant to pyrethroids threatens to compromise the efficacy of pyrethroid-treated bed nets. In an effort to develop another class of insecticide with a different mode of action, we have explored three classes of five membered heterocyclic carbamates (isoxazo

Among the C2-substituted phenylcarbamates examined (class II), 2'-(2- ethylbutoxy)phenyl N-methylcarbamate (9bd*) was extraordinarily selective (570-fold + 72). The high level of selectivity observed for many of the class II carbamates was attributed to a helical displacement
