Upsurge of malaria transmission after indoor residual spraying withdrawal in Atacora region in Benin, West Africa

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background In Benin, malaria vector control mostly relies on long-lasting, insecticidal-treated bed nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) operations. From 2011 to 2016, an IRS programme has been implemented in Atacora region.

Two‐phase ammonia plume behavior in a still room: Jack Rabbit III chamber studies

Process Safety Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper describes a new set of 45 laboratory experiments where about 180 g of ammonia was released from pressurized liquefied storage in a still 51.3 m3 chamber (i.e., a small room) and the variations of the ammonia gas concentrations and liquid deposition over a 60 min time period were investigated.

Indoor residual spraying for kala-azar vector control in Bangladesh: A continuing challenge

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Contexte La leishmaniose viscérale (CV) dans le sous-continent indien est une maladie mortelle si elle n'est pas traitée. Entre 1994 et 2013, le ministère de la Santé du Bangladesh a signalé 1 09 266 cas de CV et 329 décès liés à la CV dans 37 districts endémiques.

Long‐term impact of exposure to Royal Guard, a pyriproxyfen‐based bed net, on pyrethroid‐resistant malaria vectors from Cameroon using DNA‐based metabolic resistance markers

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2165-2180, April 2025.
We used recently detected P450 DNA‐based markers of pyrethroid resistance in both Anopheles funestus and Anopheles gambiae to demonstrate that although pyrethroid‐resistant mosquitoes have higher ability to survive and live longer after exposure to Royal Guard, this net significantly affects their lifespan, blood feeding ability and interestingly ...

Printing to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance Through Nano/Microstructured Platforms

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing enables the rational design of structured antimicrobial platforms across multiple length scales, from nanofibrous scaffolds and droplet microreactors to 3D and 4D printed constructs. By engineering confinement, interfacial chemistry, and stimuli‐responsive release, these systems exert localized action through complementary ...

Care Praxis–Driven STEM Design for Sustainable and Just Communities in Middle School

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the growing interest in incorporating care ethics into STEM education, these topics are rarely integrated into K‐12 standards and pedagogical practice. We explore how care praxis, a political and ethical approach to STEM education, supports students' sense‐making in addressing real‐world problems throughout STEM design, merging social,
