Evidence of man-vector contact in torn long-lasting insecticide-treated nets
BACKGROUND Studies indicate that physical damage to long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) occurs at a surprisingly rapid rate following net distribution. To what extent does such damage affect the impact of LLINs? Can vectors pass a compromised LLIN barrier to bite? Do more resistant vectors enter the insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) through holes? METHODS The study was carried out in ...
متن کاملCost and cost effectiveness of long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets - a model-based analysis
BACKGROUND The World Health Organization recommends that national malaria programmes universally distribute long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets (LLINs). LLINs provide effective insecticide protection for at least three years while conventional nets must be retreated every 6-12 months. LLINs may also promise longer physical durability (lifespan), but at a higher unit price. No prospective ...
متن کاملPrioritizing Pregnant Women for Long-Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets through Antenatal Care Clinics
The use of insecticide treated nets (ITNs), and subsequently the new generation of long-lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs), has been a core malaria prevention strategy for more than two decades [1], and until 2010, distribution of LLINs targeted biologically vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and children aged less than 5 years [2,3]. In 2008, due largely to increased funding for ma...
متن کاملLong-lasting treated mosquito nets: a breakthrough in malaria prevention.
Editor – Regardless of views expressed recently in the Bulletin (1–2), insecticide-treated mosquito nets are currently the only viable option to prevent malaria transmission in large parts of Africa. To be effective, mosquito nets have to be treated by dipping them in suitable insecticides at least once a year. Less than 5% of the nets currently used in Africa are properly treated or retreated....
متن کاملOwnership and utilization of long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets in Afar, northeast Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study
INTRODUCTION Malaria is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Afar Region. Distribution of Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Bed Nets (LLINs) has been one of the major interventions to combat malaria. However, ownership and utilization of these nets are not well known. METHODS A community based cross-sectional study was conducted using interviewer-administered questionnaires to study...
