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 ...

Measurement of overall insecticidal effects in experimental hut trials [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
The 'overall insecticidal effect' is a key measure used to evaluate public health pesticides for indoor use in experimental hut trials. It depends on the proportion of mosquitoes that are killed out of those that enter the treated hut, intrinsic mortality in the control hut, and the ratio of mosquitoes entering the treatment hut to those entering the ...

Conceptualising quality early childhood education: Learning from young children in Brazil and South Africa through creative and play‐based methods

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Early childhood has increasingly been acknowledged as a vital time for all children. Inclusive and quality education is part of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, with the further specification that all children have access to quality pre‐primary education.

Experimental validation of the Corbella's visibility function using HUT-2D and MIRAS [PDF]

2010 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2010
The Corbella's revision of the fundamental equation of the interferometric aperture synthesis radiometry is verified using airborne and spaceborne data. This experimental verification uses the measurements of the airborne instrument HUT-2D from the Aalto University (Helsinki), and the unique spaceborne microwave imaging radiometer by aperture synthesis

The experimental hut: hosting vectors [PDF]

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, 2012
In southeast Tanzania, ten canvas huts raised on wooden foundations occupy a plot of cleared rice field. Designed to simulate malaria transmission on the domestic scale, the experimental hut is constructed in the fashion of indigenous homes (complete with villagers, paid to spend the night), but is structurally

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.

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.

Influence of Location and Distance of Biogents Sentinel™ Traps From Human-Occupied Experimental Huts On Aedes aegypti Recapture and Entry Into Huts [PDF]

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2018
ABSTRACT A mark–release–recapture study was conducted to refine the “push–pull” strategy for controlling the dengue, chikungunya, and Zika virus vector Aedes aegypti in a peridomestic environment by determining optimal locations and distances from human-occupied experimental huts for placement of the “pull” component (Biogents Sentinel™ [BGS ...
