Costs of insecticide-treated bed net distribution systems in sub-Saharan Africa [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2020
Abstract Background Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are one of the most cost-effective measures for preventing malaria. The World Health Organization recommends both large-scale mass distribution campaigns and continuous distributions (CD) as part of a multifaceted strategy to achieve and sustain universal access to ITNs.

Malaria prevalence and long-lasting insecticidal net use in rural western Uganda: results of a cross-sectional survey conducted in an area of highly variable malaria transmission intensity

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) remain a cornerstone of malaria control, but strategies to sustain universal coverage and high rates of use are not well-defined.

Creating an "enabling environment" for taking insecticide treated nets to national scale: the Tanzanian experience. [PDF]

, 2005
INTRODUCTION: Malaria is the largest cause of health services attendance, hospital admissions and child deaths in Tanzania. At the Abuja Summit in April 2000 Tanzania committed itself to protect 60% of its population at high risk of malaria by 2005.

Evaluation of Olyset insecticide-treated nets distributed seven years previously in Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2004
BACKGROUND\ud \ud Insecticide-treated nets represent currently a key malaria control strategy, but low insecticide re-treatment rates remain problematic. Olyset nets are currently one of two long-lasting insecticidal nets recommended by WHO.

Impact of promoting longer-lasting insecticide treatment of bed nets upon malaria transmission in a rural Tanzanian setting with pre-existing high coverage of untreated nets [PDF]

, 2010
: BACKGROUND: The communities of Namawala and Idete villages in southern Tanzania experienced extremely high malaria transmission in the 1990s. By 2001-03, following high usage rates (75% of all age groups) of untreated bed nets, a 4.2-fold reduction in ...

Cost and cost effectiveness of long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets - a model-based analysis

Cost Effectiveness and Resource Allocation, 2012
Background The World Health Organization recommends that national malaria programmes universally distribute long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets (LLINs). LLINs provide effective insecticide protection for at least three years while conventional nets
