Effect of large-scale social marketing of insecticide-treated nets on child survival in rural Tanzania.

, 2001
BACKGROUND: Insecticide-treated nets have proven efficacy as a malaria-control tool in Africa. However, the transition from efficacy to effectiveness cannot be taken for granted.

Nets, Spray or Both? The Effectiveness of Insecticide-Treated Nets and Indoor Residual Spraying in Reducing Malaria Morbidity and Child Mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. [PDF]

, 2013
Malaria control programmes currently face the challenge of maintaining, as well as accelerating, the progress made against malaria with fewer resources and uncertain funding. There is a critical need to determine what combination of malaria interventions

Insecticide-treated bed net utilization and its determinants among pregnant women in Dembecha District, Northwest Ethiopia

Tropical Medicine and Health
Background Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are widely used and proven effective in preventing and controlling malaria. However, their utilization varies among households, which can significantly impact the benefits of insecticide-treated nets. This study

Aerial Seeding for Forest and Landscape Restoration: A Systematic Review of Technology, Challenges, and Future Directions

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land degradation is a critical global challenge, threatening biodiversity, food security, and livelihoods. Ecological restoration has therefore become a priority, with aerial seeding emerging as a key method to address issues of scale, accessibility, and efficiency. By dispersing seeds from aircraft or drones, aerial seeding complements ground‐

Optimal treated mosquito bed nets and insecticides foreradication of malaria in Missira

Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - B, 2012
We extend the deterministic mathematical malaria model framework of Dembele et al. and use it to study the impact of protecting humans from mosquito bites and mass killing of mosquito vectors on malaria incidence in Missira, a village in Mali. As a case study, we fit our model to Missira malaria incidence data.

Effect of insecticide-treated bed net usage on under-five mortality in northern Ghana [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2015
على الرغم من أن معدل وفيات الأطفال دون سن الخامسة يبدو أنه آخذ في الانخفاض في غانا، إلا أن الجزء الشمالي من البلاد لديه مستويات أعلى من وفيات الأطفال دون سن الخامسة مقارنة بالمعدلات الوطنية. يبحث هذا البحث في الارتباطات بين ارتفاع معدل وفيات الأطفال دون سن الخامسة بين الأطفال في الجزء الشمالي من غانا، مع التركيز على استخدام الناموسيات المعالجة ...

Development and deployment of a risk assessment index as a decision‐support tool for managing whitefly‐transmitted viruses affecting squash

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A data‐driven framework identified planting date and row cover as dominant drivers of whitefly‐transmitted virus complex (WTVC) risk in squash. Integration into the SquashRx mobile application enables real‐time risk assessment and supports improved decision‐making for integrated pest management.

Mathematical Evaluation of Community Level Impact of Combining Bed Nets and Indoor Residual Spraying upon Malaria Transmission in Areas where the main Vectors are Anopheles Arabiensis Mosquitoes. [PDF]

, 2013
Indoor residual insecticide spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) are commonly used together even though evidence that such combinations confer greater protection against malaria than either method alone is inconsistent.

Evaluating the community education programme of an insecticide-treated bed net trial on the Kenyan coast [PDF]

Health Policy and Planning, 1996
Increased interest in the potential contribution of insecticide-impregnated bed nets (ITBN) to malaria control has led to research efforts to determine the impact and sustainability of ITBN programmes in differing environments. There is a need to develop effective, feasible educational strategies that will both inform and motivate community members ...

Effects of community-level bed net coverage on malaria morbidity in Lilongwe, Malawi

Malaria Journal, 2017
Background The protective effect of insecticide-treated bed nets against individual-level malaria transmission is well known, however community-level effects are less understood.
