Indoor residual spraying for preventing malaria [PDF]
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2007 Primary malaria prevention on a large scale depends on two vector control interventions: indoor residual spraying (IRS) and insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs). Historically, IRS has reduced malaria transmission in many settings in the world, but the health effects of IRS have never been properly quantified.

To spray or not to spray? Understanding participation in an indoor residual spray campaign in Arequipa, Peru [PDF]
Global Public Health, 2016 Current low participation rates in vector control programmes in Arequipa, Peru complicate the control of Chagas disease. Using focus groups (n = 17 participants) and semi-structured interviews (n = 71) conducted in March and May 2013, respectively, we examined barriers to and motivators of household participation in an indoor residual spray (IRS ...

Wall-type and indoor residual spraying application quality affect the residual efficacy of indoor residual spray against wild malaria vector in southwest Ethiopia [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2018 Residual efficacy of indoor residual spray may vary with different spray quality and wall surfaces types. This study evaluated the impact of spray quality and wall surface types on residual efficacy of propoxur against wild Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (s.l.) in southwest Ethiopia.Thirty houses of different mud wall surfaces (10 smooth, 10 rough, 10 ...

Indoor residual spraying for the control of visceral leishmaniasis: A systematic review
PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 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. This systematic review assesses all available studies analysing the effectiveness of IRS on the key vectors

Combining Indoor Residual Spraying and Insecticide-Treated Net Interventions [PDF]
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2009 Does scaling up of malaria control by combining indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLIN) enhance protection to populations? Results from a literature search and from recent household surveys in Bioko, Equatorial Guinea, and Zambezia, Mozambique are presented.
