Use of insecticide treated bed nets among pregnant women in Kilifi District, Kenya

East African Medical Journal, 2010
Malaria is one of the most serious public health problems in Kenya. Pregnant women are among the groups with the highest risk of malaria. Use of insecticide treated bed nets (ITNs) is a cost-effective method of controlling malaria. Despite this, there is low utilisation of ITNs among pregnant women in Kilifi district which is an endemic malaria zone.To

Short and long term evaluation of the efficiency of PermaNet® 2.0 bed net against environmental factors and washing using bioassay tests

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo
The aim of the present study was to examine the resistance of PermaNet® 2.0 bed nets against repeated washing and environmental factors by using bioassay tests. After 5, 15 and 21 washings with detergents and by using bioassay tests, the resistance of 40

Seasonal Variation of Essential Oils Composition in a Genetically Diverse Population of Lippia alba and Its Influence on Antibacterial Activity

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 10, October 2026.
The essential oils profile, antibacterial activity and leaf nutrients contents of a Lippia alba genetically diverse population are examined regarding seasonal harvesting. ABSTRACT Lippia alba is an aromatic plant whose essential oils (EOs) have been characterized as promising antimicrobial agents. It has been established that L.

Evaluation of Interceptor long-lasting insecticidal nets in eight communities in Liberia. [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: By 2008, the WHO Pesticide Evaluation Scheme (WHOPES) recommended five long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) for the prevention of malaria: Olyset((R)), PermaNet 2.0((R)), Netprotect((R)), Duranet((R)) and Interceptor((R)). Field information

Integrated Experimental, Chemometric, and In Silico Analyses of Larvicidal Supercritical Extracts From Myrtaceae Species Against Aedes aegypti

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 10, October 2026.
The cross‐validated regression tree showed modest predictive performance. Mortality was not significantly associated with the first two PCA axes. Molecular modeling generated testable ligand–target hypotheses. Psidium cattleianum had lower LD50. The larvicidal activity of the crude extracts could not be attributed to individual constituents.

Investigating mosquito net durability for malaria control in Tanzania - attrition, bioefficacy, chemistry, degradation and insecticide resistance (ABCDR): study protocol. [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) are one of the major malaria vector control tools, with most countries adopting free or subsidised universal coverage campaigns of populations at-risk from malaria.

Laser‐Induced Graphene‐Based Resistive Leaf Wetness Sensors for Pesticide Spray Deposition

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 10, October 2026.
A laser‐induced graphene leaf wetness sensor is fabricated by CO2 laser‐patterning interdigitated electrodes on flexible polyimide and adding silver‐paste contacts through a shadow mask. Calibration with multiple pesticide formulations and tap water shows decreasing resistance with increasing deposited volume, while spray tests demonstrate close ...

Comparative Field Evaluation of Combinations of Long-Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets and Indoor Residual Spraying, Relative to Either Method Alone, for Malaria Prevention in an Area where the main Vector is Anopheles Arabiensis. [PDF]

, 2013
Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are commonly used together in the same households to improve malaria control despite inconsistent evidence on whether such combinations actually offer better protection than nets ...

Providing insecticide treated bed nets in antiretroviral treatment clinics in Malawi: a pilot study

Malawi Medical Journal, 2008
HIV infection and malaria, two of the most common and important health problems in sub-Saharan Africa, have been demonstrated to have interactive pathology. In Malawi, where malaria is endemic, and antiretroviral therapy (ART) delivery is scaling up, we piloted integration of long-lasting insecticide-treated bednets (ITN) provision in three ART clinics.

A voucher scheme for insectide treated nets in Ghana: development of a methodology for delivery systems evaluation [PDF]

The key to effective scaling-up of coverage with insecticide treated nets is multiple effective delivery systems that are complementary, each one adding incrementally to the overall coverage. Generally, individual systems have been studied.
