The impact of indoor residual spraying of deltamethrin on dengue vector populations in the Peruvian Amazon

Acta Tropica, 2016
Dengue is an important public health problem in the Amazon area of Peru, resulting in significant morbidity each year. As in other areas of the world, ultra-low volume (ULV) application of insecticides is the main strategy to reduce adult populations of the dengue vector Aedes aegypti, despite growing evidence of its limitations as a single control ...

[Acceptability of indoor residual spraying in the Central-Western of Senegal].

Bulletin de la Societe de pathologie exotique (1990), 2016
The recent decline of malaria transmission in central-western of Senegal after a scaling up of control measures gives an open window for interventions toward malaria elimination. As a consequence, malaria transmission is now occurring as hotspots. The aim of the project is to evaluate whether target control measures combining indoor residual spraying ...

ESTIMATING THE DURATION OF PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM INFECTION FROM TRIALS OF INDOOR RESIDUAL SPRAYING

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2004
We reviewed the use of simple mathematical models to estimate the duration of Plasmodium falciparum infection after transmission has been interrupted. We then fit an exponential decay model to repeated cross-sectional survey data collected from three historical trials of indoor residual spraying against malaria: one from two contiguous districts in ...

The impact of indoor residual spraying with malathion on malaria in refugee camps in eastern Sudan

Acta Tropica, 2001
An exploratory trial of the efficacy of indoor spraying with malathion on morbidity and mortality in refugee camps in eastern Sudan was conducted during the rainy season of 1997. The interior walls of houses from a randomly selected group of five camps were sprayed with malathion in mid-September and morbidity and mortality rates in the camps for the ...

Extension of indoor residual spraying for malaria control into high transmission settings in Africa

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2007
Contrary to previous consensus, a recent WHO statement recommends a more dominant role for indoor residual spraying (IRS) in malaria control in high transmission settings of sub-Saharan Africa and re-emphasises the role of DDT. We review the issues related to this change in recommendation.
