Insecticide mixtures for mosquito net impregnation against malaria vectors

Parasite, 2002
Insecticides belonging to the pyrethroid family are the only compounds currently available for the treatment of mosquito nets. Unfortunately, some malaria vector species have developed resistance to pyrethroids and the lack of alternative chemical ...

The combination of indoor residual spraying with insecticide-treated nets versus insecticide-treated nets alone for preventing malaria

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2017
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To evaluate whether indoor residual spraying (IRS) in combination with long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs)/insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) causes an additional reduction to malaria transmission versus LLINs/ITNs alone.

Preventing childhood malaria in Africa by protecting adults from mosquitoes with insecticide-treated nets [PDF]

, 2007
Malaria prevention in Africa merits particular attention as the world strives toward a better life for the poorest. Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) represent a practical means to prevent malaria in Africa, so scaling up coverage to at least 80% of young ...

Dyeing Process May Alter the Efficacy of Insecticide-Treated Nets

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2006
The biological efficacy as judged by mortality against Anopheles gambiae s.s. of three net samples, one white and two colored, treated with deltamethrin by conventional dipping was compared. Efficacy as well as chemical analysis results showed that uptake of insecticide by white net material was much higher than by colored nets.
