Abstract:

In response to growing concerns over the sustained effectiveness of pyrethroid-only based control tools, new products are being developed and evaluated. Some examples of these are dual-active ingredient (AI) insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) which contain secondary insecticides, or synergist ITNs which contain insecticide synergist, both in combination with a pyrethroid. These net types are often termed ‘next-generation’ insecticide-treated nets. Several of these new types of ITNs are being evaluated in large-scale randomized control trials (RCTs) and pilot deployment schemes at a country level.

The abundance and distribution of malaria vectors as well as compliance with the use of Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs) are key factors in the fight against malaria. Malaria vector species composition, distribution and attitude of residents of Uyo to ITNs were studied. Weekly surveys were conducted in 2018. Anopheles mosquito larvae were collected from the four different axes of the metropolis, reared to adult stage and morphologically identified. Four hundred (400) structured and pre-tested questionnaires were administered to 400 respondents aged 18-70 for their knowledge and compliance with

Abstract:

Introduction: Malaria still remains a global burden especially in the under-five despite efforts made towards reducing it. The most recommended vector control methods are; use of insecticide treated nets (ITNs) or long lasting insecticide nets (LLINs) and use of indoor residual spraying (IRS). However, these innovations may not have the same effect on malaria risk in the under-five. This study therefore aimed at assessing; the effect of ITNs/LLINs on malaria risk, the effect of IRS on malaria risk, and the effect of ITNs/LLINs on IRS, using nearest neighbours matched analysis.

Malaria prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa remains high. Kenya for example, records about 3.5 million new cases and 11 thousand deaths each year.1 Most of these cases and deaths are among children under five. The main control method in malaria endemic regions has been through the use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). Although this approach has been fairly successful, the gains are threatened by mosquito-resistance to pyrethroids (insecticides on nets), physical and chemical degradation of ITNs that reduce their efficacy, inconsistent and improper use by humans, etc. We present a model to inves

Abstract:

Insecticide treated nets are critical tools for prevention of malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases. They have also been demonstrated to prevent nuisance and infective bites from a few other insects. Recently, there has been an increased push by the international community to eliminate malaria and therefore resources have been channelled into higher production and supply of ITNs to endemic areas, thus increasing their presence in the environment. The trend is unlikely to change given that ITNS are still strongly recommended by WHO as part of the methods with which significant reduction in

<strong>Background.</strong> Use of insecticide treated bednets (ITNs) was a breakthrough in the fight against malaria. However, ITNs are only effective when properly used.

Hence, there is a need to develop methods to supplement or replace the use of ITNs for malaria vector control.

Abstract:

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) has been targeted for elimination from Southeast Asia (SEA). The disease has been endemic in SEA, and in other parts of the world involving both humans and animals. One of the key strategies for combating VL is controlling for the vector sandfly. There are a few vector control strategies that are currently in practice. We sought to assess the efficacy and community effectiveness of insecticide treated nets (ITNs) in controlling the burden of sandfly and the occurrence of VL among humans. We conducted a systematic review following a study protocol and the Preferred R

Abstract:

Background. Malaria in pregnancy leads to low birth weight, premature birth, anaemia, and maternal and neonatal mortality. Use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) during pregnancy is one of the proven interventions to reduce the malaria burden. However, Ghana has not achieved its target for ITN use among pregnant women. Methods. A qualitative study was conducted in seven communities purposively selected from the middle belt of Ghana. Participants who had delivered in the six months prior to this study were selected. In all, seven focus group discussions and twenty-four in-depth interviews were

Abstract:

This review article critically evaluated the efficacy of genetically modified (GM) mosquitoes versus insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) in reducing malaria transmission in endemic regions. Malaria remains a significant public health issue, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, where it continues to cause substantial morbidity and mortality. ITNs have been a cornerstone in malaria control, providing individuals with effective protection against Anopheles mosquitoes. However, challenges such as insecticide resistance and improper usage threaten their long-term effectiveness. In

Abstract:

Introduction: Every year, an estimated 125 million pregnancies are at risk of contracting malaria. Malaria poses a risk to both the mother and the fetus since pregnant women are more likely to get it than non-pregnant women. Newborns, fetuses, and pregnant women are all susceptible to malaria infection. It is frequently associated with anemia, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), and issues such as low birth weight and trans placental parasitemia. From the first point of contact, insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) can help shield the pregnant mother and her unborn child from malaria. Methods:

Background/Aims Malaria in pregnancy is a major public health problem in Nigeria, along with high maternal morbidity, and fetal and neonatal mortality rates. Strategies for the control of malaria include the use of insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs). Although some agencies distribute ITNs free of charge, some nets are not being used appropriately by pregnant women and other women of childbearing age. This study sought to empower pregnant women and women of childbearing age to take action to prevent malaria through the proper use of ITNs. Methods An action research design was used, which compr
