How equitable is bed net ownership and utilisation in Tanzania? A practical application of the principles of horizontal and vertical equity. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Studies show that the burden of malaria remains huge particularly in low-income settings. Although effective malaria control measures such as insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) have been promoted, relatively little is known about their equity ...

Pyrethroid-treated bed nets impair blood feeding performance in insecticide resistant mosquitoes

Scientific Reports, 2023
AbstractThe blood feeding performance of female mosquitoes directly impacts their ability to transmit malaria. Yet their host seeking and blood feeding behaviours in the presence of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are still poorly understood. This work explores how both insecticide resistant and susceptible Anopheles gambiae s.l.

Mixture for Controlling Insecticide-Resistant Malaria Vectors

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
The spread of resistance to pyrethroids in the major Afrotropical malaria vectors Anopheles gambiae s.s. necessitates the development of new strategies to control resistant mosquito populations.

Reduced efficacy of insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying for malaria control in pyrethroid resistance area, Benin. [PDF]

, 2007
The pyrethroid knockdown resistance gene (kdr) has become widespread in Anopheles gambiae in West Africa. A trial to test the continuing efficacy of insecticide-treated nets (ITN) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) was undertaken in experimental huts at ...

Evaluation of a national universal coverage campaign of long-lasting insecticidal nets in a rural district in north-west Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2012
\ud \ud Insecticide-treated nets (ITN) are one of the most effective measures for preventing malaria. Mass distribution campaigns are being used to rapidly increase net coverage in at-risk populations.

Host-seeking activity of a Tanzanian population of Anopheles arabiensis at an insecticide treated bed net [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2017
Understanding how mosquitoes respond to long lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) is fundamental to sustaining the effectiveness of this essential control tool. We report on studies with a tracking system to investigate behaviour of wild anophelines at an LLIN, in an experimental hut at a rural site in Mwanza, Tanzania.Groups of adult female ...

Household ownership and utilization of insecticide-treated nets under the Regional Artemisinin Resistance Initiative in Myanmar

Tropical Medicine and Health, 2018
Background Malaria is a major public health problem in Myanmar with reported artemisinin resistance. Myanmar promotes the use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) through the free delivery of long-lasting insecticide nets (LLINs) with target coverage of at

Targeted Subsidy for Malaria Control With Treated Nets Using a Discount Voucher System in Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2003
During the last decade insecticide-treated nets have become a key strategy for malaria control. Social marketing is an appealing tool for getting such nets to poor rural African communities who are most afflicted by malaria.

Costs and cost-effectiveness of vector control in Eritrea using insecticide-treated bed nets [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2009
Abstract Background While insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are a recognized effective method for preventing malaria, there has been an extensive debate in recent years about the best large-scale implementation strategy.

Spatial effects of mosquito bednets on child mortality

BMC Public Health, 2008
Background Insecticide treated nets (ITN) have been proven to be an effective tool in reducing the burden of malaria. Few randomized clinical trials examined the spatial effect of ITNs on child mortality at a high coverage level, hence it is essential to
