Comparison of Indoor Residual Spray Equipment for Malaria Control in Liberia

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2015
We describe and compare a new innovative backpack compressed-air sprayer (JQSX-12) to a Stihl® 450 backpack mist blower and a manually operated compression sprayer for its effectiveness as an alternative operational tool for indoor residual insecticide application to control malaria in Liberia.

Combining organophosphate treated wall linings and long-lasting insecticidal nets for improved control of pyrethroid resistant Anopheles gambiae. [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: New approaches to delivering insecticides need to be developed to improve malaria vector control. Insecticidal durable wall lining (DL) and net wall hangings (NWH) are novel alternatives to indoor residual spraying which can be produced in a ...

The influence of the environment and indoor residual spraying on malaria risk in a cohort of children in Uganda

Scientific Reports, 2022
AbstractStudies have estimated the impact of the environment on malaria incidence although few have explored the differential impact due to malaria control interventions. Therefore, the objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of indoor residual spraying (IRS) on the relationship between malaria and environment (i.e.

A modified experimental hut design for studying responses of disease-transmitting mosquitoes to indoor interventions: the Ifakara experimental huts. [PDF]

, 2012
Differences between individual human houses can confound results of studies aimed at evaluating indoor vector control interventions such as insecticide treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual insecticide spraying (IRS).

Short persistence of bendiocarb sprayed on pervious walls and its implication for the indoor residual spray program in Ethiopia [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2016
With the emergence and spread of vector resistance to pyrethroids and DDT in Africa, several countries have recently switched or are considering switching to carbamates and/or organophosphates for indoor residual spraying (IRS). However, data collected on the residual life of bendiocarb used for IRS in some areas indicate shorter than expected bio ...

Comparing the Effectiveness of Malaria Vector-Control Interventions Through a Mathematical Model. [PDF]

, 2010
Although some malaria-control programs are beginning to combine insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS), little is known about the effectiveness of such combinations.

Impact of indoor residual spray with synthetic pyrethroid in Gandhinagar district, Gujarat

Indian Journal of Community Medicine, 2009
Indoor residual spray (IRS), with appropriate insecticide, is an effective weapon for the control of malaria. Two rounds of indoor residual spray, with synthetic pyrethroid, are given in highly malaria endemic areas. It aims to prevent transmission of malaria by adult vector mosquitoes.To assess the impact of indoor residual spray in the highly malaria-

Effectiveness of indoor residual spraying on malaria control: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Infectious Diseases of Poverty, 2022
Abstract Background Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is one of the key interventions recommended by World Health Organization in preventing malaria infection. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of global studies about the impact of IRS on malaria control. Method
