A review of selective indoor residual spraying for malaria control [PDF]

Malaria Journal
Background Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is one of the most effective malaria control tools. However, its application has become limited to specific contexts due to the increased costs of IRS products and implementation programmes.

The impact of stopping and starting indoor residual spraying on malaria burden in Uganda [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2021
Indoor residual spraying (IRS) of insecticide is one of the primary malaria vector control initiatives, but implementation is limited. Here, the authors show that discontinuation of IRS in Uganda was associated with increased malaria incidence, and ...

Reducing Malaria Transmission through Reactive Indoor Residual Spraying: A Systematic Review. [PDF]

Am J Trop Med Hyg, 2023
. In the final stages of malaria elimination, interventions to reduce malaria transmission are often centered around a confirmed case of malaria, as cases tend to cluster together at very low levels of transmission.

Indoor residual spraying for the control of visceral leishmaniasis: A systematic review. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2022
Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) is one of the interventions to control the vectors of Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL). Different insecticides are used in affected countries, also in the Regional Initiative for the Elimination of VL in South-East Asia.

Acceptability and associated factors of indoor residual spraying for malaria control by households in Luangwa district of Zambia: A multilevel analysis.

PLOS Global Public Health, 2022
The global burden of malaria has increased from 227 million cases in 2019 to 247 million cases in 2020. Indoor residual spraying (IRS) remains one of the most effective control strategies for malaria. The current study sought to measure the acceptability

Using routine health data to evaluate the impact of indoor residual spraying on malaria transmission in Madagascar. [PDF]

BMJ Glob Health, 2023
Introduction Indoor residual spraying (IRS) and insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) are cornerstone malaria prevention methods in Madagascar. This retrospective observational study uses routine data to evaluate the impacts of IRS overall, sustained IRS ...

Molecular surveillance of insecticide resistance in Phlebotomus argentipes targeted by indoor residual spraying for visceral leishmaniasis elimination in India. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2023
Molecular surveillance of resistance is an increasingly important part of vector borne disease control programmes that utilise insecticides. The visceral leishmaniasis (VL) elimination programme in India uses indoor residual spraying (IRS) with the ...
