Implications of Bio-Efficacy and Persistence of Insecticides when Indoor Residual Spraying and Longlasting Insecticide Nets are Combined for Malaria Prevention [PDF]

, 2012
Bio-efficacy and residual activity of insecticides used for indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticide nets (LLINs) were assessed against laboratory-reared and wild populations of the malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis in south eastern

Nationwide insecticide resistance status and biting behaviour of malaria vector species in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Malaria Journal, 2018
Background Globally, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) accounted for 9% of malaria cases and 10% of malaria deaths in 2015. As part of control efforts, more than 40 million long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) were distributed between 2008 and ...

To assess whether indoor residual spraying can provide additional protection against clinical malaria over current best practice of long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets in The Gambia: study protocol for a two-armed cluster-randomised trial. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Recently, there has been mounting interest in scaling-up vector control against malaria in Africa. It needs to be determined if indoor residual spraying (IRS with DDT) will provide significant marginal protection against malaria over current ...

Malaria Morbidity and Its Association With Indoor Residual Spraying in Amolatar District, Uganda: A Retrospective Ecological Study Using Routine DHIS2 Data. [PDF]

Health Sci Rep
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Despite sustained investments in malaria control, Uganda continues to experience recurrent malaria morbidity. Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is a key vector control intervention; however, evidence regarding its short‐term effectiveness under routine district‐level data remains limited.

INDOOR RESIDUAL SPRAYING OF DDT FOR MALARIA CONTROL

American Journal of Public Health, 2009
We wish to comment on O'Shaughnessy's article1 on the use of DDT to control malaria from our years of malaria eradication experience.2 From 1948 to 1958, H. H. C. participated in Taiwan's malaria program. In 1950, there were 1.2 million cases of malaria out of a population of 7.5 million.3,4 After a period of DDT indoor residual spraying from 1953 ...

Mathematical Evaluation of Community Level Impact of Combining Bed Nets and Indoor Residual Spraying upon Malaria Transmission in Areas where the main Vectors are Anopheles Arabiensis Mosquitoes. [PDF]

, 2013
Indoor residual insecticide spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) are commonly used together even though evidence that such combinations confer greater protection against malaria than either method alone is inconsistent.

Evaluation of toxicity of clothianidin (neonicotinoid) and chlorfenapyr (pyrrole) insecticides and cross-resistance to other public health insecticides in Anopheles arabiensis from Ethiopia

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background Insecticide-based interventions play an integral role in malaria vector control. However, the continued spread of insecticide resistance threatens to undermine progress made thus far and may ultimately lead to operational failure of current ...

Reduction of Malaria Prevalence by Indoor Residual Spraying: A Meta-Regression Analysis [PDF]

The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2012
Indoor residual spraying (IRS) has become an increasingly popular method of insecticide use for malaria control, and many recent studies have reported on its effectiveness in reducing malaria burden in a single community or region. There is a need for systematic review and integration of the published literature on IRS and the contextual determining ...

Comparative Field Evaluation of Combinations of Long-Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets and Indoor Residual Spraying, Relative to Either Method Alone, for Malaria Prevention in an Area where the main Vector is Anopheles Arabiensis. [PDF]

, 2013
Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are commonly used together in the same households to improve malaria control despite inconsistent evidence on whether such combinations actually offer better protection than nets ...

Combining indoor residual spraying with chlorfenapyr and long-lasting insecticidal bed nets for improved control of pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles gambiae: an experimental hut trial in Benin. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Neither indoor residual spraying (IRS) nor long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are able to fully interrupt transmission in holoendemic Africa as single interventions.
