A genetic model of the effects of insecticide-treated bed nets on the evolution of insecticide-resistance. [PDF]
Evolution, Medicine and Public Health, 2015 The evolution of insecticide-resistance in malaria vectors is emerging as a serious challenge for the control of malaria. Modelling the spread of insecticide-resistance is an essential tool to understand the evolutionary pressures and dynamics caused by the application of insecticides.We developed a population-genetic model of the spread of insecticide-

Effectiveness of insecticide-treated and untreated nets to prevent malaria in India† [PDF]
Tropical Medicine and International Health, 2015 AbstractObjectivesIndia is the most malaria‐endemic country in South‐East Asia, resulting in a high socio‐economic burden. Insecticide‐treated or untreated nets are effective interventions to prevent malaria. As part of an Indian first‐aid guideline project, we aimed to investigate the magnitude of this effect in India.MethodsWe searchedMEDLINE, Embase

Using non-insecticidal traps indoors can complement insecticide-treated nets to target insecticide-resistant malaria vectors [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) provide protection against malaria vectors through their insecticidal action and as a physical barrier. However, insecticide resistance in malaria vectors has diminished their efficacy, threatening future ...

Insecticide-treated nets for preventing malaria in pregnancy [PDF]
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2006 Malaria in pregnancy is associated with adverse consequences for mother and fetus. Protection with insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) during pregnancy is widely advocated, but evidence of their benefit has been inconsistent.To compare the impact of ITNs with no nets or untreated nets on preventing malaria in pregnancy.We searched the Cochrane Infectious ...

Insecticide-treated nets for preventing malaria [PDF]
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2018 A previous version of this Cochrane Review identified that insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are effective at reducing child mortality, parasite prevalence, and uncomplicated and severe malaria episodes. Insecticide-treated nets have since become a core intervention for malaria control and have contributed greatly to the dramatic decline in disease ...
