INSECTICIDE-TREATED BED NETS IN RONDÔNIA, BRAZIL: EVALUATION OF THEIR IMPACT ON MALARIA CONTROL [PDF]

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2014
Mosquito nets treated with long-lasting insecticide (LLINs), when used in compliance with guidelines of the World Health Organization, may be effective for malaria vector control. In 2012, approximately 150,000 LLINs were installed in nine municipalities

Equity and coverage of insecticide-treated bed nets in an area of intense transmission of Plasmodium falciparum in Tanzania. [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2009
BACKGROUND: There is no clear consensus on the most sustainable and effective distribution strategy for insecticide treated bed nets (ITNs). Tanzania has been a leader in social marketing but it is still not clear if this can result in high and equitable

An insecticide-treated bed-net campaign and childhood malaria in Burkina Faso

Bulletin of the World Health Organization, 2015
Objective To investigate if the first national insecticide-treated bed-net campaign in Burkina Faso, done in 2010, was followed by a decrease in childhood malaria in a district with high baseline transmission of the disease.

Unravelling the impact of insecticide-treated bed nets on childhood malaria in Malawi. [PDF]

Malar J, 2023
Abstract Background To achieve malaria elimination it is essential to understand the impact of insecticide-treated net (ITNs) programmes. Here, the impact of ITN access and use on malaria prevalence in children in Malawi was investigated using Malaria Indicator Survey (MIS) data.

Social network correlates of free and purchased insecticide-treated bed nets in rural Uganda. [PDF]

Malar J, 2022
Abstract Background Malaria is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in Uganda. Despite Uganda’s efforts to distribute bed nets, only half of households have achieved the World Health Organization (WHO) Universal Coverage Criteria (one bed net for every two household members).

Quantifying the direct and indirect protection provided by insecticide treated bed nets against malaria. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2023
Abstract Long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) provide both direct and indirect protection against malaria. As pyrethroid resistance evolves in mosquito vectors, it will be useful to understand how the specific benefits LLINs afford individuals and communities may be affected.

An Epidemiological Model of the Effects of Insecticide-Treated Bed Nets on Malaria Transmission. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2015
Insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) have become a central tool for malaria control because they provide personal and community-wide protection through their repellent and insecticidal properties. Here we propose a model that allows to assess the relative importance of those two effects in different epidemiological contexts and we show that these two ...

Empirical and theoretical investigation into the potential impacts of insecticide resistance on the effectiveness of insecticide-treated bed nets. [PDF]

Evol Appl, 2018
AbstractIn spite of widespread insecticide resistance in vector mosquitoes throughout Africa, there is limited evidence that long‐lasting insecticidal bed nets (LLINs) are failing to protect against malaria. Here, we showed that LLIN contact in the course of host‐seeking resulted in higher mortality of resistant Anopheles spp. mosquitoes than predicted

Utilization of insecticide-treated nets and associated factors among childbearing women in Northern Nigeria

Malaria Journal, 2023
Background Studies have explored the correlates of insecticide-treated nets in Nigeria. The few studies that focused on Northern Nigeria mostly examined individual correlates, but largely ignored the community correlates.
