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-

INSECTICIDE-TREATED BED NETS IN RONDÔNIA, BRAZIL: EVALUATION OF THEIR IMPACT ON MALARIA CONTROL [PDF]
Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2014 Mosquito nets treated with long-lasting insecticide (LLINs), when used in compliance with guidelines of the World Health Organization, may be effective for malaria vector control. In 2012, approximately 150,000 LLINs were installed in nine municipalities

Equity and coverage of insecticide-treated bed nets in an area of intense transmission of Plasmodium falciparum in Tanzania [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2009 Abstract Background There is no clear consensus on the most sustainable and effective distribution strategy for insecticide treated bed nets (ITNs). Tanzania has been a leader in social marketing but it is still not clear if this can result in high and equitable levels of coverage ...

Reducing Visceral Leishmaniasis by Insecticide Impregnation of Bed-Nets, Bangladesh [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013 The effect of insecticide-treated materials on reducing visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is disputable. In Bangladesh, we evaluated the effect of a community-based intervention with insecticide impregnation of existing bed-nets in reducing VL incidence.

An insecticide-treated bed-net campaign and childhood malaria in Burkina Faso
Bulletin of the World Health Organization, 2015 Objective To investigate if the first national insecticide-treated bed-net campaign in Burkina Faso, done in 2010, was followed by a decrease in childhood malaria in a district with high baseline transmission of the disease.

Effect of insecticide-treated bed net usage on under-five mortality in northern Ghana [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2015 على الرغم من أن معدل وفيات الأطفال دون سن الخامسة يبدو أنه آخذ في الانخفاض في غانا، إلا أن الجزء الشمالي من البلاد لديه مستويات أعلى من وفيات الأطفال دون سن الخامسة مقارنة بالمعدلات الوطنية. يبحث هذا البحث في الارتباطات بين ارتفاع معدل وفيات الأطفال دون سن الخامسة بين الأطفال في الجزء الشمالي من غانا، مع التركيز على استخدام الناموسيات المعالجة ...

Unravelling the impact of insecticide-treated bed nets on childhood malaria in Malawi. [PDF]
Malar J, 2023 Abstract Background To achieve malaria elimination it is essential to understand the impact of insecticide-treated net (ITNs) programmes. Here, the impact of ITN access and use on malaria prevalence in children in Malawi was investigated using Malaria Indicator Survey (MIS) data.

Social network correlates of free and purchased insecticide-treated bed nets in rural Uganda. [PDF]
Malar J, 2022 Abstract Background Malaria is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in Uganda. Despite Uganda’s efforts to distribute bed nets, only half of households have achieved the World Health Organization (WHO) Universal Coverage Criteria (one bed net for every two household members).

Quantifying the direct and indirect protection provided by insecticide treated bed nets against malaria. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2023 Abstract Long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) provide both direct and indirect protection against malaria. As pyrethroid resistance evolves in mosquito vectors, it will be useful to understand how the specific benefits LLINs afford individuals and communities may be affected.

An Epidemiological Model of the Effects of Insecticide-Treated Bed Nets on Malaria Transmission. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2015 Insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) have become a central tool for malaria control because they provide personal and community-wide protection through their repellent and insecticidal properties. Here we propose a model that allows to assess the relative importance of those two effects in different epidemiological contexts and we show that these two ...
