Abstract:

Background: Malaria is the protozoan disease caused by the parasite of genus plasmodium. As per the World Health Organization Global Malaria Program, the primary intervention for effective malaria control is distribution of insecticide-treated nets, more specifically long-lasting insecticidal net, to achieve full coverage of populations at risk of malaria. The aim of the study was to identify associated factors with use of long-lasting insecticidal net in Kailali district.Methods: A community based quantitative cross-sectional study was carried out in 5 village development committees of Kailal

Abstract:

Background: Malaria among pregnant women contributes to maternal anemia, low birth weight, spontaneous abortion, and infant deaths. In response to this serious health problem, regular use of the long-lasting insecticidal net is the most cost-effective method of preventing malaria. However, in most developing countries, including Ethiopia, long-lasting insecticidal net utilization by pregnant women is uncertain. Objectives: This study was conducted to measure the utilization of insecticidal net and to identify the associated factors with its utilization among pregnant women in Asgede Tsimbla di

Abstract:

A novel class of bed net that kills mosquitoes resistant to traditional insecticides by making them unable to move or fly, significantly reduces malaria infection in children, according to new research published in The Lancet public health journal. Unlike other insecticides which kill the mosquito via the nervous system, the effects of the new bed net means the mosquito dies from muscle paralysis, being unable to undertake cellular respiration, continue flying or blood feeding. A two-year community randomised trial involved more than 39,000 households and followed over 4,500 children aged 6 mo

Abstract:

In October 2007, long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) were distributed in 59 of the 111 districts in Madagascar as part of a nationwide child survival campaign. A community-based cross-sectional survey was conducted six months post-campaign to evaluate net ownership, use and equity. Here, we examined the effects of socioeconomic factors on LLIN ownership and usage in districts with and without net distribution during the campaign. Our data demonstrated that in districts with LLIN distribution, LLIN ownership was similar across all wealth groups in households with at least one child under the

Abstract:

The tobacco beetle, Lasioderma serricorne, is a serious insect pest of cured tobacco in Malawi. Fumigation with phosphine is the most common method of control for infested tobacco; however, fumigation has no residual effect and repeated fumigation is required in circumstances where reinfestation easily occurs. Refumigation of tobacco is costly and increases the chances of beetle resistance to phosphine. Experiments were conducted in tobacco warehouses in Lilongwe, Malawi to assess the efficacy of long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) combined with phosphine fumigation against the tobacco beetle

Abstract:

Mosquito-borne malaria kills 429,000 people each year with the problem being acute in sub-Saharan Africa. The successes gained with long-lasting pyrethroid-treated bednets are now in jeopardy because of wide-spread, pyrethroid resistance in mosquitoes. Using crowd modeling theory normalized for standard bednet architecture, we were able to design an attract–trap–kill technology for mosquitoes that does not require insecticides. Using three-dimensional polyester knitting and heat fixation, trap funnels were developed with high capture efficacy with no egression under worst-case laboratory condi

Background: Insecticides resistance in Anopheles mosquitoes limits Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLIN) used for malaria control in Africa, especially Benin. This study aimed to evaluate the bio-efficacy of current LLINs in an area where An. funestus s.l. and An. gambiae have developed multi-resistance to insecticides, and to assess in experimental huts the performance of a mixed combination of pyrethroids and piperonyl butoxide (PBO) treated nets on these resistant mosquitoes. Methods: The study was conducted at Kpomè, Southern Benin. The bio-efficacy of LLINs against An. funestus and An. ga

Abstract:

The efficacy of a vector control tool in reducing mosquito biting is crucial for its acceptability. The present study compared the vector density of Culex spp. And Mansonia spp. across clusters, which received two dual-active ingredient (a.i.) long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and a standard pyrethroid-only LLIN, and assessed the seasonality of these mosquito genera. A total of 85,723 Culex spp. and 144,025 Mansonia spp. were caught over the study period. The density of Culex and Mansonia was reduced in all three arms over the study period. There was no evidence of a significant reduction

Abstract:

Analysis of malaria trends is important for planning of malaria elimination. Therefore, we reviewed the malaria monthly reports and key interventions for malaria elimination in Bago Region of Myanmar between 2007 and 2015. Secondary data analysis revealed the trends in malaria morbidity, mortality, malaria positive rate (MPR), malaria species, annual parasite incidence (API) and annual blood examination rate (ABER). Key interventions included distribution of insecticide-treated net (ITN), long lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) and case detection. Over the 8-year period, malaria morbidity and mor

Abstract Background Malaria is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in developing countries including Ethiopia. Mass distribution of insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spray for high malaria risk groups are the major prevention measures in different countries. Achievement of the malaria elimination plan is highly determined by the level of effective utilization of intervention measures. However, there is scarce information showing the national level of insecticide-treated nets utilization. Objective To estimate the pooled prevalence of insecticide-treated nets uti

Abstract Background The preventive and curative strategies of malaria are based on promoting the use of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and treating confirmed cases with artemisinin-based combination therapy. These strategies have led to a sharp decline in the burden of malaria, which remains a significant public health problem in sub-Saharan countries. The objective of this study was to determine and compare the residual efficacy of LLINs recommended by the World Health Organization.

Abstract:

Abstract Elucidating the genetic basis of metabolic resistance to insecticides in malaria vectors is crucial to prolonging the effectiveness of insecticide-based control tools including long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). Here, we show that cis-regulatory variants of the cytochrome P450 gene, CYP6P9b, are associated with pyrethroid resistance in the African malaria vector Anopheles funestus. A DNA-based assay is designed to track this resistance that occurs near fixation in southern Africa but not in West/Central Africa. Applying this assay we demonstrate, using semi-field experimental hut

Abstract:

Abstract Background Up until the present, pyrethroid-treated bed nets have been a key tool for vector control in the fight against malaria. A global system that sets standards and facilitates procurement has successfully driven down the price of these bed nets to enable more of them to be distributed. As a result of their mass rollout, malaria cases have been significantly reduced, but pyrethroid resistance is now widespread. Going forward, new insecticides have been and continue to be developed for use on bed nets, but it is unclear how to best deploy them for maximum impact. Methods Here, an
