Pooling success against malaria
Neotrópica and the nearby town of Golfito, involves building a medical clinic in La Gamba. The Rainforest of the Austrians has once again been collecting donations, this time to pay for the hospital's equipment. Thus the Rainforest of the Austrians is managing to involve and benefit the local community while continuing to work towards its primary goals of conservation, research and education. T...
متن کاملOn the Methodology and Assumptions Used in the Cost-effectiveness Analysis of Larviciding for Urban Malaria Control
In this section, the methodology and assumptions used to estimate the cost-effectiveness ratios of larviciding for urban malaria control in Tanzania are described. This supplemental material is organized into three sections. First, the data and assumptions used to calculate the number of disability-adjusted life years averted (DALY) are described. Second, the methodology used to estimate provid...
متن کاملEfficacy of Aquatain, a Monomolecular Film, for the Control of Malaria Vectors in Rice Paddies
BACKGROUND Rice paddies harbour a large variety of organisms including larvae of malaria mosquitoes. These paddies are challenging for mosquito control because their large size, slurry and vegetation make it difficult to effectively apply a control agent. Aquatain, a monomolecular surface film, can be considered a suitable mosquito control agent for such breeding habitats due to its physical pr...
متن کاملDEET microencapsulation: a slow-release formulation enhancing the residual efficacy of bed nets against malaria vectors.
Textile materials treated with synthetic repellents have the potential to provide protection against insect disease vectors but lack the residual activity necessary to achieve a prolonged effect or to be cost-effective. DEET MC is a formulation of DEET (N,N diethyl-m-toluamide) in which the repellent is gradually released from a capsule that binds the repellent. An experiment carried out on DEE...
متن کاملInsecticide mixtures for mosquito net impregnation against malaria vectors.
Insecticides belonging to the pyrethroid family are the only compounds currently available for the treatment of mosquito nets. Unfortunately, some malaria vector species have developed resistance to pyrethroids and the lack of alternative chemical categories is a great concern. One strategy for resistance management would be to treat mosquito nets with a mixture associating two insecticides hav...
