Community effectiveness of indoor spraying as a dengue vector control method: A systematic review.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
BackgroundThe prevention and control of dengue rely mainly on vector control methods, including indoor residual spraying (IRS) and indoor space spraying (ISS). This study aimed to systematically review the available evidence on community effectiveness of

Community knowledge and acceptance of indoor residual spraying for malaria prevention in Mozambique: a qualitative study

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background Malaria control remains a leading health challenge in Mozambique. Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is an effective strategy to control malaria transmission, but there are often barriers to reaching the coverage necessary for attaining maximum ...

Novel Microwave Sensor for Quality Assurance of Indoor Residual Spraying [PDF]

IEEE Sensors Letters
Vector-borne diseases, such as visceral leishmaniasis or malaria, are a significant global burden, particularly in low- and middle-income countries in regions with high parasite prevalence. Indoor residual spraying is one of the most effective control tools, if performed effectively. Current World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended quality assurance

An Experimental Hut Study to Quantify the Effect of DDT and Airborne Pyrethroids on Entomological Parameters of Malaria Transmission. [PDF]

, 2014
Current malaria vector control programmes rely on insecticides with rapid contact toxicity. However, spatial repellents can also be applied to reduce man-vector contact, which might ultimately impact malaria transmission.

The Impact of Domestic Public Health Spending on Health Outcomes in Sub‐Saharan Africa: Evidence From Disability‐Adjusted Life Years

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) continues to experience a high and uneven disease burden, mainly from HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. As external funding declines, the strategic allocation of domestic public health spending (DPHS) becomes crucial.

A Practical Guide for Incorporating Emollients in the Treatment of Mild‐to‐Moderate Atopic Dermatitis

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Emollients and cleansers are essential components in managing atopic dermatitis (AD). While international evidence‐based guidelines recommend using gentle cleansers and emollients daily as a foundational therapy for AD, implementation in practice remains suboptimal.
