A qualitative study of community perception and acceptance of biological larviciding for malaria mosquito control in rural Burkina Faso
BACKGROUND Vector and malaria parasite's rising resistance against pyrethroid-impregnated bed nets and antimalarial drugs highlight the need for additional control measures. Larviciding against malaria vectors is experiencing a renaissance with the availability of environmentally friendly and target species-specific larvicides. In this study, we analyse the perception and acceptability of spray...
متن کاملDistribution Systems of Insecticide-Treated Bed Nets for Malaria Control in Rural Burkina Faso: Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial
BACKGROUND Insecticide-impregnated bed nets (ITNs) have been shown to be a highly effective tool against malaria in the endemic regions of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). There are however different opinions about the role of ITN social marketing and ITN free distribution in the roll-out of ITN programmes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of free ITN distribution through antena...
متن کاملChallenges of implementing a large scale larviciding campaign against malaria in rural Burkina Faso – lessons learned and recommendations derived from the EMIRA project
BACKGROUND Recent malaria control and elimination attempts show remarkable success in several parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Vector control via larval source management represents a new and to date underrepresented approach in low income countries to further reduce malaria transmission. Although the positive impact of such campaigns on malaria incidence has been researched, there is a lack of dat...
متن کاملDECIDE: a cluster randomized controlled trial to reduce non-medically indicated caesareans in Burkina Faso
BACKGROUND Since 2006, Burkina Faso has subsidized the cost of caesarean sections to increase their accessibility. Caesareans are performed by obstetricians, general practitioners, and nurses trained in emergency surgery. While the national caesarean rate is still too low (only 2 % in 2010), 12 to 24 % of caesareans performed in hospital are, in fact, not medically indicated. The objective of t...
متن کاملFatal malaria in a German couple returning from Burkina Faso.
We report on a German couple found dead at home 7 days after returning from Burkina Faso. Postmortem evaluation revealed Plasmodium falciparum infection with a parasitemia of approximately 80% in both cases. No pathological findings of the organs were present at autopsy except moderate splenomegaly in both cases and myocarditis in one case. Typical findings of fatal malaria like petechial hemor...
