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 ...

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

An experimental hut evaluation of Olyset nets against anopheline mosquitoes after seven years use in Tanzanian villages. [PDF]
, 2008 BACKGROUND: Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are advocated by WHO for protection against malaria. Of the three brands of LLINs currently approved by WHO, Olyset(R) is the only one currently granted full recommendation.

Malaria Journal, 2022 Background Broflanilide is a newly discovered insecticide with a novel mode of action targeting insect γ-aminobutyric acid receptors. The efficacy of VECTRON™ T500, a wettable powder formulation of broflanilide, was assessed for IRS against wild ...

Comparative Field Evaluation of Combinations of Long-Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets and Indoor Residual Spraying, Relative to Either Method Alone, for Malaria Prevention in an Area where the main Vector is Anopheles Arabiensis. [PDF]
, 2013 Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are commonly used together in the same households to improve malaria control despite inconsistent evidence on whether such combinations actually offer better protection than nets ...
