[Organization of a free mass distribution campaign of long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets in the context of COVID-19 in Niger]. [PDF]

Pan Afr Med J, 2021
Long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets (LLIMNs) are needed for malaria vector control. However, their distribution is not yet optimal in sub-Saharan regions. According to projections, COVID-19 pandemic will further delay the distribution of LLIMNs. In Niger, a distribution campaign of LLIMNs with a multi-sectoral approach (state-partner-civil society)

A tracking tool for long-lasting insecticidal (mosquito) net intervention following a 2011 national distribution in Benin [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Following a mass distribution of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) in Benin, we used WHO guidelines to develop an assessment tool which is described in this report. It involved assessment of the three WHO indicators: survivorship, integrity and bio-efficacy.To evaluate the assessment tool, we selected four communities, two in the Southern part of ...

Evaluation of MAGNet, a long-lasting insecticidal mosquito net against Anopheles fluviatilis in experimental huts in India [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2019
MAGNet LN is a wash resistant long-lasting insecticidal (polyethylene) net (LLIN) in which the alpha-cypermethrin insecticide is incorporated within the 150 denier high density polyethylene monofilaments of the nets. The bio-efficacy of MAGNet LN was reported to be high even after 25 washes.

Long-term field performance of a polyester-based long-lasting insecticidal mosquito net in rural Uganda [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2008
In order to evaluate whether criteria for LLIN field performance (phase III) set by the WHO Pesticide Evaluation Scheme are met, first and second generations of one of these products, PermaNet, a polyester net using the coating technology were tested.A randomized, double blinded study design was used comparing LLIN to conventionally treated nets and ...

Do holes in long-lasting insecticidal nets compromise their efficacy against pyrethroid resistant Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus? : Results from a release-recapture study in experimental huts [PDF]

, 2015
Resistance of malaria vectors to pyrethroids threatens the effectiveness of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) as a tool for malaria control. Recent experimental hut and observational studies in Benin show that pyrethroid resistance reduces the ...

Bio-efficacy of DuraNet® long-lasting insecticidal nets against wild populations of Anopheles arabiensis in experimental huts

Tropical Medicine and Health, 2018
Background Mosquitoes have developed resistance to multiple classes of insecticides for malaria vector control. A new generation of long-lasting insecticidal bed nets (LLINs) has been developed with increased efficacy against these resistant mosquitoes ...

How many mosquito nets are needed to achieve universal coverage? Recommendations for the quantification and allocation of long-lasting insecticidal nets for mass campaigns [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2010
Long-lasting insecticidal nets are an effective tool for malaria prevention, and "universal coverage" with such nets is increasingly the goal of national malaria control programmes. However, national level campaigns in several countries have run out of nets in the course of distribution, indicating a problem in the method used to estimate the quantity ...

A roadmap for the digital management of long-lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets (LLINs) distribution campaigns in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)

Pan African Medical Journal, 2023
The use of the long-lasting insecticide-treated mosquito net (LLIN) is one of the basic interventions recommended by the Global technical strategy for Malaria 2016-2030. Since the start of the LLIN distribution campaigns in 2006 in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), it was based on paper tools leading to poor quality data.

Evaluation of Interceptor long-lasting insecticidal nets in eight communities in Liberia. [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: By 2008, the WHO Pesticide Evaluation Scheme (WHOPES) recommended five long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) for the prevention of malaria: Olyset((R)), PermaNet 2.0((R)), Netprotect((R)), Duranet((R)) and Interceptor((R)). Field information
