How many holes is too many? A prototype tool for estimating mosquito entry risk into damaged bed nets

Malaria Journal, 2017
Background Insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) have played an integral role in malaria reduction but how insecticide depletion and accumulating physical damage affect ITN performance is poorly understood. More accurate methods are needed to assess damage

Insecticidal Bed Nets and Filariasis Transmission in Papua New Guinea [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2013
Global efforts to eliminate lymphatic filariasis are based on the annual mass administration of antifilarial drugs to reduce the microfilaria reservoir available to the mosquito vector. Insecticide-treated bed nets are being widely used in areas in which filariasis and malaria are coendemic.We studied five villages in which five annual mass ...

Longitudinal Changes in Adiposity After a Youth Sport‐Related Knee Injury: Informing Posttraumatic Osteoarthritis Prevention

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Youth who experience a sport‐related knee injury have elevated odds of becoming overweight or developing obesity in 3 to 10 years, compounding their risk for posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). To inform prevention strategies, this study compared patterns of adiposity change between youth with a sport‐related knee injury and uninjured youth ...

A) Increase in bed net ownership, presented as the percentage of households owning at least one net, from 2004 to 2010 (top); B) percentage of bed net coverage among the population in 2010 (bottom).

, 2013
Effective bed net coverage is defined as the proportion of the population who slept under LLINs in good condition, or slept under regular ITNs in good condition and that were routinely insecticide-retreated.

Assessments of Anopheles arabiensis behaviour around bed nets using partial adhesive treatments

Scientific Reports
Understanding the behaviour of malaria vectors could lead to improved designs of partially treated insecticidal nets and low-cost nets with less insecticide content.

Anopheles gambiae: historical population decline associated with regional distribution of insecticide-treated bed nets in western Nyanza Province, Kenya

Malaria Journal, 2010
Background High coverage of insecticide-treated bed nets in Asembo and low coverage in Seme, two adjacent communities in western Nyanza Province, Kenya; followed by expanded coverage of bed nets in Seme, as the Kenya national malaria programme rolled out;

A Workflow to Accelerate Microstructure‐Sensitive Fatigue Life Predictions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a workflow to accelerate predictions of microstructure‐sensitive fatigue life. Results from frameworks with varying levels of simplification are benchmarked against published reference results. The analysis reveals a trade‐off between accuracy and model complexity, offering researchers a practical guide for selecting the optimal ...

Permethrin-treated bed nets (mosquito nets) prevent malaria in Gambian children

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1988
The incidence of clinical attacks of malaria was significantly less in Gambian children aged 1-9 years who slept in villages where all the bed nets (mosquito nets) were treated with permethrin than in children who slept in control villages with placebo-treated nets.
