Insecticide-treated bed-nets for malaria mosquito control.
Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2006 Pyrethroid-treated bed-nets act against late-night biting mosquitoes, like traps baited by the body odor of the occupant. The personal protective effect of treated nets is considerable, even if they are torn. However, some biting of the occupants does occur, as shown by matching microsatellite alleles in mosquito blood meals to those of net occupants ...

A genetic model of the effects of insecticide-treated bed nets on the evolution of insecticide-resistance. [PDF]
Evolution, Medicine and Public Health, 2015 The evolution of insecticide-resistance in malaria vectors is emerging as a serious challenge for the control of malaria. Modelling the spread of insecticide-resistance is an essential tool to understand the evolutionary pressures and dynamics caused by the application of insecticides.We developed a population-genetic model of the spread of insecticide-

Malaria remains one of the world’s most significant health and development problems. More than 2.4 billion of the world’s population residing in 100 countries or territories are at risk of malaria. This results in an estimated 300−500 million clinical cases each year, 90% of which occur in Africa south of the Sahara Desert. 1 In these high-burden areas

Insecticide-treated bed nets and curtains for preventing malaria
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 1998Malaria is an important cause of illness and death in many parts of the world, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. There has been a renewed emphasis on preventive measures at community and individual levels. Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are the most prominent malaria preventive measure for large-scale deployment in highly endemic areas.To assess the ...

Beyond insecticide treated bed nets coverage to heterogeneous human behaviors and spatial realities
Frontiers in MalariaIntroductionInsecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) are a cost-efficient prevention method used to prevent malaria, yet their use in poorly urbanized and slum areas remains low. For instance, in these areas in Accra, Ghana, less than 2% of children sleep under fully functional ITNs. Thus, the expected drop in malaria prevalence in Accra and the rest of the

An evaluation of the Gambian national insecticide bed net programme, which has introduced insecticide treatment of bed nets into all primary health care (PHC) villages in The Gambia, provided an opportunity to compare the individual risk of malaria in children who slept under untreated or insecticide-treated bed nets.

Parents' perception on use of insecticide-treated bed net in Port Harcourt
2012Background: Insecticide treated bed nets (ITN) are protective against malaria, but they are poorly utilized. The utilization of the nets, especially by the under fives, will depend on their caregivers' awareness of the net and their perception of its usefulness.
