Impact of insecticide-treated bed nets on malaria transmission indices on the south coast of Kenya [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2011
Besides significantly reducing malaria vector densities, prolonged usage of bed nets has been linked to decline of Anopheles gambiae s.s. relative to Anopheles arabiensis, changes in host feeding preference of malaria vectors, and behavioural shifts to exophagy (outdoor biting) for the two important malaria vectors in Africa, An. gambiae s.l.

Aerial Seeding for Forest and Landscape Restoration: A Systematic Review of Technology, Challenges, and Future Directions

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land degradation is a critical global challenge, threatening biodiversity, food security, and livelihoods. Ecological restoration has therefore become a priority, with aerial seeding emerging as a key method to address issues of scale, accessibility, and efficiency. By dispersing seeds from aircraft or drones, aerial seeding complements ground‐

Field efficacy of pyrethroid treated plastic sheeting (durable lining) in combination with long lasting insecticidal nets against malaria vectors. [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: Insecticide treated plastic sheeting (ITPS), sometimes known as durable lining, has potential as a long-lasting insecticidal surface for malaria vector control when used as lining for interior walls and ceilings inside the home.

Insecticide-treated bed net utilization and its determinants among pregnant women in Dembecha District, Northwest Ethiopia

Tropical Medicine and Health
Background Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are widely used and proven effective in preventing and controlling malaria. However, their utilization varies among households, which can significantly impact the benefits of insecticide-treated nets. This study

Development and deployment of a risk assessment index as a decision‐support tool for managing whitefly‐transmitted viruses affecting squash

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A data‐driven framework identified planting date and row cover as dominant drivers of whitefly‐transmitted virus complex (WTVC) risk in squash. Integration into the SquashRx mobile application enables real‐time risk assessment and supports improved decision‐making for integrated pest management.

Methods for entomological evaluation of insecticide treated bed net trials [PDF]

, 1999
This thesis is divided into 3 parts. The first part reports the effect of community-wide use of bed nets treated with lambdacyhalothrin (10mg/m2), on malaria vector Anopheles gambiae in Southern Sierra Leone. In the first year of the trial, 16 villages were randomly allocated to either remain without treated nets or to receive treated nets for all the ...

Interplay between insecticide-treated bed-nets and mosquito demography: implications for malaria control

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2016
Although malaria prevalence has witnessed a significant reduction within the past decade, malaria still constitutes a major health and economic problem, especially to low-income countries. Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) remain one of the primary measures for preventing the malignant disease.

Long‐term impact of exposure to Royal Guard, a pyriproxyfen‐based bed net, on pyrethroid‐resistant malaria vectors from Cameroon using DNA‐based metabolic resistance markers

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2165-2180, April 2025.
We used recently detected P450 DNA‐based markers of pyrethroid resistance in both Anopheles funestus and Anopheles gambiae to demonstrate that although pyrethroid‐resistant mosquitoes have higher ability to survive and live longer after exposure to Royal Guard, this net significantly affects their lifespan, blood feeding ability and interestingly ...
