Enhancing the Quality of Spray Application in IRS: Evaluation of the Micron Track Sprayer

Insects, 2022
Indoor residual spraying (IRS) has changed little since its introduction in the 1940s. Manual spraying is still prone to variation in insecticide dose. To improve the application of IRS in experimental hut trials, an automated track sprayer was developed,

Laboratory and experimental hut trial evaluation of VECTRON ™ T500 for indoor residual spraying (IRS) against insecticide resistant malaria vectors in Burkina Faso

Gates Open Research, 2022
Background: Malaria cases in some areas could be attributed to vector resistant to the insecticide. World Health Organization recommended insecticides for vector control are limited in number.

Quantifying malaria endemicity in Ethiopia through combined application of classical methods and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay: an initial step for countries with low transmission initiating elimination programme

Malaria Journal, 2018
Background In the context of reduced transmission of malaria, it is essential to re-evaluate and determine the level of transmission as it guides re-orientation of control measures which is appropriate to local disease epidemiology.

Malaria in migrant agricultural workers in western Ethiopia: entomological assessment of malaria transmission risk

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background Ethiopia has made great strides in malaria control over the last two decades. However, this progress has not been uniform and one concern has been reported high rates of malaria transmission in large agricultural development areas in western ...

New Ways of Approaching Indoor Residual Spraying for Malaria [PDF]

Global Health: Science and Practice, 2016
Using health extension workers in Ethiopia as supervisors of the spray team reduced operational costs while maintaining quality. But rethinking IRS calls for (1) adapting equipment and procedures to ensure higher-quality spray applications, and (2) empowering decentralized targeting against malaria transmission foci.

Caretakers’ understanding of malaria, use of insecticide treated net and care seeking-behavior for febrile illness of their children in Ethiopia

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2017
Background Local understandings of malaria and use of preventive measures-are critical factors in sustained control of malaria. This study assessed caretakers’ knowledge on malaria, use of Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLINs) and care-seeking ...

Large-scale (Phase III) evaluation of broflanilide 50WP (VECTRON™ T500) for indoor residual spraying for malaria vector control in Northeast Tanzania: study protocol for a two-arm, non-inferiority, cluster-randomised community trial

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is a major method of malaria vector control across sub-Saharan Africa. Effective control is being undermined by the rapid spread of insecticide resistance.

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 ...

VECTRON™ T500, a new broflanilide insecticide for indoor residual spraying, provides prolonged control of pyrethroid-resistant malaria vectors

bioRxiv, 2022
Background Broflanilide is a newly discovered insecticide with a novel mode of action targeting insect γ-aminobutyric acid receptors. The efficacy of VECTRON ™ T500, a wettable powder formulation of broflanilide, was assessed for IRS against wild ...

Efficacy of targeted indoor residual spraying with the pyrrole insecticide chlorfenapyr against pyrethroid-resistant Aedes aegypti

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Background There is an increased need to mitigate the emergence of insecticide resistance and incorporate new formulations and modes of application to control the urban vector Aedes aegypti.
