Residual efficacy of indoor residual spraying using clothianidin (SumiShield 50WG) under experimental huts and field conditions in Senegal [PDF]

Malaria Journal
Background In Senegal, the main vector control strategies include indoor residual spraying (IRS) and the distribution of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs).

Improvement to East African style experimental huts allows for more effective evaluation of vector control products for protection against vector-borne diseases [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background East African style experimental huts have been used in Tanzania since 1963 to evaluate vector control interventions such as insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying. Over time, these huts have been modified to include eave baffles

A modified experimental hut design for studying responses of disease-transmitting mosquitoes to indoor interventions: the Ifakara experimental huts. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Differences between individual human houses can confound results of studies aimed at evaluating indoor vector control interventions such as insecticide treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual insecticide spraying (IRS).

Efficacy of partial spraying of SumiShield, Fludora Fusion and Actellic against wild populations of Anopheles gambiae s.l. in experimental huts in Tiassalé, Côte d'Ivoire [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
From August 2020 to June 2021, we assessed the efficacy of SumiShield 50WG (clothianidin), Fludora Fusion 56.25WP-SB (mixture of clothianidin and deltamethrin) and Actellic 300CS (pirimiphos-methyl) in experimental huts when partially sprayed against ...

Design matters: structural variation in experimental huts significantly alters entomological endpoints in insecticide treated net (ITN) evaluation –a comparative experimental hut trial using a latin square design in Tanzania and Côte d’Ivoire [PDF]

Malaria Journal
Background Experimental huts are the gold standard for the semi-field evaluation of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) but the design of the huts used varies markedly between sites. Structural differences may influence mosquito behaviour – and, consequently,

Evaluation of MAGNet, a long-lasting insecticidal mosquito net against Anopheles fluviatilis in experimental huts in India [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background MAGNet LN is a wash resistant long-lasting insecticidal (polyethylene) net (LLIN) in which the alpha-cypermethrin insecticide is incorporated within the 150 denier high density polyethylene monofilaments of the nets. The bio-efficacy of MAGNet

Efficacy evaluation of Veeralin LN, a PBO-incorporated alpha-cypermethrin long-lasting insecticidal net against Anopheles culicifacies in experimental huts in Odisha State [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background The success of malaria control using long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) is threatened by pyrethroid resistance developed by the malaria vectors, worldwide.

Comparative efficacy of Vector Guard® to Olyset® Plus insecticide-treated nets against strongly pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles arabiensis in experimental huts in Tanzania

Frontiers in Malaria
IntroductionThe resistance of malaria vectors to pyrethroids has compromised the efficacy of pyrethroid insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). In response, ITNs with pyrethroids and piperonyl butoxide (PBO) synergists were developed to overcome metabolic ...

Experimental hut resting and entrance behaviour of Anopheles darlingi from Zungarococha, a malaria endemic community in Loreto, Northern Peruvian Amazon [PDF]

Malaria Journal
Background Anopheles darlingi is a primary malaria vector in the Peruvian Amazon, yet characterization of behavioural traits contributing to human-vector contact is limited.
