Relative versus absolute risk of dying reduction after using insecticide-treated nets for malaria control in Africa.
Four recently completed large-scale randomized controlled trials have assessed the impact of insecticide-treated bednets and curtains on overall child mortality in Africa. These results have sparked numerous discussions among implementing agency representatives and researchers about the public health significance of the results. For the interpretation of impact, most of the arguments have been ...
متن کاملInsecticide-treated bed-nets for malaria mosquito control.
Pyrethroid-treated bed-nets act against late-night biting mosquitoes, like traps baited by the body odor of the occupant. The personal protective effect of treated nets is considerable, even if they are torn. However, some biting of the occupants does occur, as shown by matching microsatellite alleles in mosquito blood meals to those of net occupants. When whole communities were provided with t...

No. 03-010017 Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) have become an important tool in the prevention of malaria in highly endemic areas. At present, large-scale ITN programmes are being implemented in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and Latin America using a nu...
متن کاملModeling the Effects of Integrating Larval Habitat Source Reduction and Insecticide Treated Nets for Malaria Control
Integrated vector management for malaria control has received a lot of recent interest. Attacking multiple points in the transmission cycle is hoped to act synergistically and improve upon current single-tool interventions based on the use of insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs). In the present study, we theoretically examined the application of larval habitat source reduction with ITNs in reduc...

She concludes: “I began work on this book, knowing relatively little about the issues and thus, as someone of rational disposition, with no very marked tendency towards any of the major camps in the debate. I end in much the same ...
