Efficacy of partial spraying of SumiShield, Fludora Fusion and Actellic against wild populations of Anopheles gambiae s.l. in experimental huts in Tiassalé, Côte d'Ivoire

Scientific Reports, 2023
From August 2020 to June 2021, we assessed the efficacy of SumiShield 50WG (clothianidin), Fludora Fusion 56.25WP-SB (mixture of clothianidin and deltamethrin) and Actellic 300CS (pirimiphos-methyl) in experimental huts when partially sprayed against ...

Optimal population-level infection detection strategies for malaria control and elimination in a spatial model of malaria transmission [PDF]

, 2015
Mass campaigns with antimalarial drugs are potentially a powerful tool for local elimination of malaria, yet current diagnostic technologies are insufficiently sensitive to identify all individuals who harbor infections. At the same time, overtreatment of uninfected individuals increases the risk of accelerating emergence of drug resistance and losing ...

The effect of dams and seasons on malaria incidence and anopheles abundance in Ethiopia [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Reservoirs created by damming rivers are often believed to increase malaria incidence risk and/or stretch the period of malaria transmission. In this paper, we report the effects of a mega hydropower dam on P.

Opportunities in Therapeutic mRNA Stabilization: Sequence, Structure, Adjuvants and Vectors

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Current mRNA lipid nanoparticles rely on cold storage, which increases the cost and reduces access to the vaccines. As mRNA expands to other clinical opportunities, better methods to stabilize the medicines during shipping, storage, and delivery are needed.

Delivering insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) through a digitized single-phase door-to-door strategy: lessons from Ondo state, Nigeria

Malaria Journal
Background The use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) is a strategy recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for malaria prevention. In Nigeria, ITNs have been periodically distributed since 2007 through campaigns.

Multi-country review of ITN routine distribution data: are ANC and EPI channels achieving their potential?

Malaria Journal, 2022
Background Routine continuous distribution (CD) of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) has been an important part of an overall ITN strategy to complement mass campaigns since the early 2000s.

Do Malaria Vector control Measures Impact Disease-Related Behaviour and Knowledge? Evidence from a Large-scale Larviciding Intervention in Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2013
Recent efforts of accelerated malaria control towards the long-term goal of elimination had significant impacts in reducing malaria transmission. While these efforts need to be sustained over time, a scenario of low transmission could bring about changes
