Optimal control analysis of a malaria transmission model with applications to Democratic Republic of Congo

Nonlinear Analysis, 2023
In this paper, a dynamical model of malaria transmission with vector-bias and timedependent controls is investigated. The controls include the RTS,S malaria vaccine, using insecticide-treated mosquito net, treatment of infectious human, and indoor ...

Multicentre studies of insecticide-treated durable wall lining in Africa and South-East Asia: entomological efficacy and household acceptability during one year of field use. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is a primary method of malaria vector control, but its potential impact is constrained by several inherent limitations: spraying must be repeated when insecticide residues decay, householders can tire of the ...

Understanding the gap between access and use: a qualitative study on barriers and facilitators to insecticide-treated net use in Ghana

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background Mass and continuous distribution channels have significantly increased access to insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) in Ghana since 2000. Despite these gains, a large gap remains between ITN access and use. Methods A qualitative research study was

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 ...

Evaluation of KO-Tab 1-2-3: a wash-resistant 'dip-it-yourself' insecticide formulation for long-lasting treatment of mosquito nets. [PDF]

, 2005
INTRODUCTION: Insecticide-treated nets (ITN) are an important method of preventing malaria. To remain effective, they need to be re-treated with pyrethroid insecticide at approximately yearly intervals. Systems for re-treating nets in Africa are limited,
