Pyrethroid-impregnated bed nets in the malaria control strategy at community level.
As early as 1910 Ross recommended bed nets as a protection against infective bites of vector anophelines. Bed nets also provide an efficient protection against many other biting insects and are an element of comfort. But despite this protective effect they did not significantly decrease the risk of infection and of morbidity in highly endemic areas (Snow et al., 1988a). Impregnation of bed nets...

Insecticide-impregnated bed nets act as a physical barrier to repel and kill mosquitos. Community intervention trials suggest that these nets are effective in preventing malaria-related mortality and morbidity--but not malaria infection--in areas of low and moderate transmission; the results from areas of high transmission are not so encouraging. Comparison of the results from these trials and ...
متن کاملResidual Effects of Permethrin Impregnated Bed Nets
The objective of this field trial was to assess the residual effectiveness of permethrin 10% treated mosquito nets on malaria control compared with untreated nets. The study was carried out between July and December 2007 in the Pong Nam Ron District of Chantaburi Province, Thailand. Mosquito population densities were assessed using the landing catch method.
