Introducing Insecticide Treated Mosquito Nets in the Kilombero Valley (Tanzania) : Social and Cultural Dimensions [PDF]

, 2001
Malaria remains one of the most important causes of suffering, death and poverty. The provision of prompt diagnosis and treatment should be a key component of any malaria control programme, but in reality disease management is often not adequate due to ...

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.

Estimating the minimal cost of delivering nutrition‐specific and nutrition‐sensitive interventions in Ethiopia

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
The minimum cost of the 10 years on identified nutrition‐specific and nutrition‐sensitive interventions of the National Food and Nutrition Strategy in Ethiopia is estimated to be US$ 2.55bn with an average annual cost of $250 million over 10 years (2021–2030), which is only 2.3% of the Ethiopian Annual GDP 111.27 billion US dollars in 2021 (World bank).

Preimaginal development of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) in brackish water gives rise to adult mosquitoes with thicker cuticles and greater insecticide resistance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...

Unforeseen misuses of bed nets in fishing villages along Lake Victoria

Malaria Journal, 2008
Background To combat malaria, the Kenya Ministry of Health and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have distributed insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) for use over beds, with coverage for children under five years of age increasing rapidly.

Indoor residual spraying of distinct insecticide formulations in a household‐scale micro‐mosaic format: Feasibility and effectiveness for malaria vector control in rural Zambia

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Densities of all Anopheles species were approximately comparable across all IRS regimes. No differences observed between treatment regimes regarding species composition of the Anopheles funestus group or An. gambiae complex. This operational pilot demonstrates the practical feasibility of IRS micro‐mosaics, despite the inherent increase in deployment ...

Bio-efficacy of selected long-lasting insecticidal nets against pyrethroid resistant Anopheles arabiensis from South-Western Ethiopia. [PDF]

, 2012
The emergence and spread of insecticide resistance in the major African malaria vectors Anopheles gambiae s.s. and Anopheles arabiensis may compromise control initiatives based on insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) or indoor residual spraying (IRS), and ...

Behavioral responses of pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes to insecticide-treated bed net

, 2021
Long-lasting insecticidal nets are an effective tool in reducing malaria transmission. However, with increasing insecticide resistance little is known about how physiologically resistant malaria vectors behave around a human-occupied bed net, despite their importance in malaria transmission.
