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 ...

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.

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

Perceived Threat of Malaria and the Use of Insecticide Treated Bed Nets in Nigeria
2014Using multiple qualitative methods, this study investigated the perceived threat and perceived susceptibility of children under five years of age to malaria, and willingness of the caregivers to use the ITNs in the prevention of malaria in selected rural and urban areas of Nigeria.

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.

Insecticide-Treated Bed Nets with Piperonyl Butoxide in Pyrethroid-Resistant Anopheles Populations
RESEARCH INVENTION JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL AND APPLIED SCIENCESInsecticide-treated bed nets represented a cornerstone intervention in malaria vector control, contributing significantly to reduced transmission across endemic regions. However, widespread pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles mosquito populations threatened to undermine these gains, driven primarily by enhanced metabolic detoxification through ...
