To assess whether addition of pyriproxyfen to long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets increases their durability compared to standard long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of pyrethroid-treated bednets for malaria control in sub-Saharan Africa is under threat because of high levels of resistance to pyrethroid insecticides in the vectors. Here we assess the durability of polyethylene nets with a novel combination of permethrin, a pyrethroid, with pyriproxyfen, an insect juvenile mimic (PPF-LLIN), in comparison with a typical permethrin...
متن کاملDrive to produce more long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets for malaria.
half of the area’s population of 200 000 cannot afford basic health care and rely on aid. Continuing unrest on the strifetorn island is hampering relief efforts, which are even more urgently needed after the storms. Poor water quality was one of the main health concerns in all the flooded areas of Haiti and other storm-hit countries because of the increased risk of diarrhoea, malaria, typhoid a...
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 کاملTo assess whether indoor residual spraying can provide additional protection against clinical malaria over current best practice of long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets in The Gambia: study protocol for a two-armed cluster-randomised trial
BACKGROUND Recently, there has been mounting interest in scaling-up vector control against malaria in Africa. It needs to be determined if indoor residual spraying (IRS with DDT) will provide significant marginal protection against malaria over current best practice of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and prompt treatment in a controlled trial, given that DDT is currently the most persist...
متن کاملMonitoring the durability of long-lasting insecticidal nets in field conditions in Nepal.
Understanding and improving the durability of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) in the field is critical for the success of malaria prevention using mosquito nets, as well as contributing to procurement decisions based on the number of years of protection, rather than the current practice of unit cost. Using the recently published guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO) some pr...
