INSECTICIDE-TREATED BED NETS

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2003
Malaria remains one of the world’s most significant health and development problems. More than 2.4 billion of the world’s population residing in 100 countries or territories are at risk of malaria. This results in an estimated 300−500 million clinical cases each year, 90% of which occur in Africa south of the Sahara Desert. 1 In these high-burden areas

The Untapped Potential of Bed Nets

Science, 2008
After reading the News Focus story “Battling over bed nets” by L. Roberts (26 October 2007, p. [556][1]), we wish to emphasize that the higher the percentage of coverage of a population with insecticide-treated nets, the more mosquitoes will be killed and the greater the reduction in ...

Insecticide-treated bed-nets for malaria mosquito control.

open access: yesJournal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2006
Pyrethroid-treated bed-nets act against late-night biting mosquitoes, like traps baited by the body odor of the occupant. The personal protective effect of treated nets is considerable, even if they are torn. However, some biting of the occupants does occur, as shown by matching microsatellite alleles in mosquito blood meals to those of net occupants ...

A climate-based malaria model with the use of bed nets

Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2017
Insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) are among the most important and effective intervention measures against malaria. In order to investigate the impact of bed net use on disease control, we formulate a periodic vector-bias malaria model incorporating the juvenile stage of mosquitoes and the use of ITNs. We derive the vector reproduction ratio [Formula:
