Tests of Olyset nets by bioassay and in experimental huts [PDF]

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2006
Background: Olyset nets are a type of long-lasting insecticidal net made of polyethylene fibre withpermethrin incorporated into it and with a 4 mm mesh size.Bioassays: Olyset netting was wrapped around a wire frame and the mosquitoes were released ...

Field efficacy of ethnomedicinal plant smoke repellency against Anopheles arabiensis and Aedes aegypti

Heliyon, 2021
The repellency effect of smoke from burning Azadirachta indica, Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Ocimum forskolin plants to reduce human-mosquito biting activity. Ground mixed powders of the plant leaves produced smoke by direct burning and thermal expulsion

An experimental hut study evaluating the impact of pyrethroid-only and PBO nets alone and in combination with pirimiphos-methyl-based IRS in Ethiopia

Malaria Journal, 2022
Background Pyrethroid resistance observed in populations of malaria vectors is widespread in Ethiopia and could potentially compromise the effectiveness of insecticide-based malaria vector control interventions.

Wild populations of malaria vectors can mate both inside and outside human dwellings

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Wild populations of Anopheles mosquitoes are generally thought to mate outdoors in swarms, although once colonized, they also mate readily inside laboratory cages.

The effect of light and ventilation on house entry by Anopheles arabiensis sampled using light traps in Tanzania: an experimental hut study

Malaria Journal, 2022
Background In sub-Saharan Africa, house design and ventilation affects the number of malaria mosquito vectors entering houses. This study hypothesized that indoor light from a CDC-light trap, visible from outside a hut, would increase entry of Anopheles ...

Pirikool® 300 CS, a new long-lasting capsule suspension formulation of the organophosphate insecticide pirimiphos-methyl for indoor residual spraying against pyrethroid-resistant malaria vectors.

PLoS ONE, 2022
BackgroundIndoor residual spraying (IRS) using a capsule suspension formulation of the organophosphate insecticide, pirimiphos-methyl, has provided substantial malaria control in many communities in Africa.

Do holes in long-lasting insecticidal nets compromise their efficacy against pyrethroid resistant Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus? Results from a release-recapture study in experimental huts. [PDF]

Malar J, 2015
Resistance of malaria vectors to pyrethroids threatens the effectiveness of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) as a tool for malaria control. Recent experimental hut and observational studies in Benin show that pyrethroid resistance reduces the ...

Semi-field evaluation of the cumulative effects of a “Lethal House Lure” on malaria mosquito mortality

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background There is growing interest in the potential to modify houses to target mosquitoes with insecticides or repellents as they search for human hosts.
