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 ...

Determination of the residual efficacy of carbamate and organophosphate insecticides used for indoor residual spraying for malaria control in Ethiopia [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2017
Background Indoor residual spraying is one of the key vector control interventions for malaria control in Ethiopia. As malaria transmission is seasonal in most parts of Ethiopia, a single round of spraying can usually provide effective protection against

The impact of indoor residual spraying on malaria incidence in East Shoa Zone, Ethiopia [PDF]

Global Health Action, 2012
In Ethiopia, nearly 70% of the population resides in areas prone to malaria infection. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of indoor residual spraying (IRS) on the incidence of malaria in East Shoa Zone of Ethiopia.Data from the registers of malaria cases at Debrezeit Malaria Control Center in East Shoa Zone of Ethiopia were collected

Indoor residual spraying with alphacypermethrin controls malaria in Pakistan: a community-randomized trial [PDF]

Tropical Medicine and International Health, 2000
Summary We conducted a community‐randomized controlled trial in Pakistan to determine the efficacy of indoor residual spraying with alphacypermethrin ('Fendona', Cyanamid, NJ, USA), applied at 25 mg/m2, to prevent falciparum and vivax malaria. Wettable powder (WP) and suspension concentrate (SC) formulations were tested against an unsprayed control in ...

Effect of Indoor Residual Spraying on Malaria in Pregnancy and Pregnancy Outcomes: A Systematic Review. [PDF]

Am J Trop Med Hyg
ABSTRACT. Malaria in pregnancy increases maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is a core vector control strategy used to reduce transmission in endemic areas; however, its efficacy in reducing the sequelae of malaria in pregnancy is not well described.

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

Am J Trop Med Hyg
ABSTRACT. 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. The WHO commissioned a systematic review of the literature and synthesis of evidence for reactive indoor residual spraying (IRS ...
