Use of insecticide-impregnated mosquito nets and other impregnated materials for malaria control in the Americas.
This article reviews the current status of the use of insecticide-impregnated mosquito nets and other impregnated materials in the Americas. Studies from Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela are examined. It is concluded that most studies have suffered from experimental design errors, short duration problems, and/or inadequate measurement of health indicators. The...
متن کاملEconomic aspects of the use of impregnated mosquito nets for malaria control.
The use of pyrethroids to impregnate mosquito nets has had a good impact on the incidence of morbidity and mortality from malaria. These nets are therefore likely to be used on a large scale as an important strategy of malaria control in the future. Published information on the cost and effectiveness of mosquito nets is presented and analysed. In two examples, from Malawi and Cameroon, the per ...
متن کاملInsecticide-impregnated bed nets for malaria control: a review of the field trials.
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 کاملRecent research on impregnated mosquito nets.
The present status of impregnated mosquito nets and other impregnated materials is discussed. Research projects which have produced most of the publications on this subject were conducted in areas in Africa with relatively high endemicity of malaria. In these areas, usage of impregnated mosquito nets caused substantial reductions in the sporozoite inoculation rates and some reduction in inciden...
متن کاملThe indoor use of plastic sheeting pre-impregnated with insecticide for control of malaria vectors.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of permethrin-treated plastic sheeting (ITPS) applied as a lining to the ceiling or walls of rooms against pyrethroid-susceptible and pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles gambiae. METHOD Overnight tests were carried out in veranda-trap experimental huts in Vallée du Kou, where two molecular forms of A. gambiae, S and M, occur. The S form is mostly pyrethroid resis...
