Utilization of insecticide-treated bed nets and associated factors among households in Pawie District, Benshangul Gumuz, Northwest Ethiopia [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Introduction: Insecticide-treated bed nets are often used as a physical barrier to prevent infection of malaria. In Sub-Saharan Africa, one of the most important ways of reducing the malaria burden is the utilization of insecticide-treated bed nets ...

Insecticidal roof barriers mounted on untreated bed nets can be as effective against Anopheles gambiae as regular insecticide-treated bed nets [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
Barrier bednets (BBnets), regular bednets with a vertical insecticidal panel to target mosquitoes above the bednet roof, where they are most active, have the potential to improve existing Insecticidal Treated Bednets (ITNs), by reducing the quantity of ...

Repellency and toxicity of long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets (LLINs) to bed bugs. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Vector control is essential for eliminating malaria, a vector-borne parasitic disease responsible for over half a million deaths annually. Success of vector control programs hinges on community acceptance of products like long-lasting insecticide-treated

A genetic model of the effects of insecticide-treated bed nets on the evolution of insecticide-resistance. [PDF]

Evol Med 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-

The effectiveness of a nationwide universal coverage campaign of insecticide-treated bed nets on childhood malaria in Malawi [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2016
Background Although the universal coverage campaign of insecticide-treated mosquito bed nets (ITNs) has been associated with improved malaria outcomes, recent reports indicate that the campaign is losing its sparkle in some countries.

The effectiveness of older insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) to prevent malaria infection in an area of moderate pyrethroid resistance: results from a cohort study in Malawi [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background A previous cohort study in Malawi showed that users of new insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) were significantly protected against malaria compared to non-users, despite moderate levels of pyrethroid resistance among the primary mosquito ...

Spatial epidemiology of malaria by bed net utilization in 19 sub-Saharan African countries: a DHS-based study (2013–2023) [PDF]

Malaria Journal
Background Malaria remains a major public health concern in Sub-Saharan Africa, where prevention efforts such as insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) play a critical role in reducing transmission. However, malaria prevalence varies across geographic areas and
