Durability monitoring of long-lasting insecticidal (mosquito) nets (LLINs) in Madagascar: physical integrity and insecticidal activity [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets (LLINs) are highly effective for malaria prevention. However, it is also clear that durability monitoring is essential to predict when, post-distribution, a net population, no longer meets minimum WHO ...

Long lasting insecticidal mosquito nets (LLINs) ownership, use and coverage following mass distribution campaign in Lake Victoria basin, Western Kenya [PDF]

BMC Public Health, 2021
Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are the most widely used malaria prevention and control intervention in Africa. However, their effectiveness may vary depending on their local geographic coverage, ownership and use at household level ...

Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) use among household members for protection against mosquito bite in Mogadishu districts

PLOS Global Public Health, 2023
Understanding long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) utilization is important in monitoring and quantifying the impact of past and current prevention and control efforts of malaria. A cross-sectional study was carried out on a sample of 409 households in

Durability study of Veeralin®, Olyset® Plus and MAGNet® insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) in Kurnool district, Andhra Pradesh, India [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background India plans to eliminate malaria by 2030, targeting zero local cases by 2027. However, malaria remains prevalent in endemic regions. As a means of addressing this issue, insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are crucial for prevention. In areas with

RNAseq-based gene expression profiling of the Anopheles funestus pyrethroid-resistant strain FUMOZ highlights the predominant role of the duplicated CYP6P9a/b cytochrome P450s

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2021
Insecticide-based interventions, notably long-lasting insecticidal nets, against mosquito vectors of malaria are currently threatened by pyrethroid resistance. Here, we contrasted RNAseq-based gene expression profiling of laboratory-resistant (FUMOZ) and

Taking the ‘I’ out of LLINs: using insecticides in vector control tools other than long-lasting nets to fight malaria

Malaria Journal, 2020
Long-lasting insecticidal nets, or LLINs, have significantly reduced malaria morbidity and mortality over the past two decades. The net provides a physical barrier that decreases human-mosquito contact and the impregnated insecticide kills susceptible ...

Development of a single resistance to damage metric for mosquito nets related to physical integrity in the field

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background In common with the majority of personal protective equipment and healthcare products, the ability for long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) to remain in good physical condition during use is a key factor governing fitness for purpose and ...
