Physical durability and insecticidal activity of long-lasting insecticidal nets in Cruzeiro do Sul, Brazil

Scientific Reports
Vector control is one of the principal strategies used for reducing malaria transmission. Long-lasting insecticidal bed nets (LLINs) are a key tool used to protect populations at risk of malaria, since they provide both physical and chemical barriers to ...

Do long-lasting insecticidal nets retain their efficacy after three years of usage in Afghanistan? Findings from a study on survivorship, physical integrity, insecticidal activity and wash resistance

Malaria Journal
Background Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) are effective malaria prevention tools. However, information is limited about their durability and wash resistance in field circumstances, especially in seasonal transmission areas in South Asia.

Pyrethroid resistance and gene expression profile of a new resistant An. gambiae colony from Uganda reveals multiple resistance mechanisms and overexpression of Glutathione-S-Transferases linked to survival of PBO-pyrethroid combination [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research
Background The effectiveness of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are being threatened by growing resistance to pyrethroids. To restore their efficacy, a synergist, piperonyl butoxide (PBO) which inhibits cytochrome P450s has been incorporated into ...

The efficacy of long lasting insecticidal nets and piperonyl butoxides against culex mosquito species in Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria

Dutse Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of LLIN and long-lasting insecticide nets plus PBO against culex mosquito species. The study was conducted at the Department of Biological Sciences research laboratory, in the University of Maiduguri, Borno State. Three brands of LLINs were used (olyset2.0, dawa2.0) and permanent plus PBO 3.0.

Pyrethroid resistance in tropical bedbugs, Cimex hemipterus, associated with use of treated bednets.

, 2002
When Tanzanian villages were provided with pyrethroid-treated bednets, bedbugs (Cimicidae) disappeared; however, after about 6 years they have re-appeared in these villages. Using a newly devised test-kit, susceptibility tests of bedbugs Cimex hemipterus
