BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that in areas of seasonal malaria transmission, intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in children (IPTc), targeting the transmission season, reduces the incidence of clinical malaria. However, these studies were conducted in communities with low coverage with insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). Whether IPTc provides additional protection to children sl...
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Zooprophylaxis is a strategy that can control malaria by attracting mosquitoes to domestic animals that act as dead-end hosts. The objective of this study was to establish the effects of zooprophylaxis and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) on malaria transmission in an agro-based ecosystem with seasonal transmission. METHODS The mosquito samples were collected ind...
Transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes, malaria has one of the heaviest global health burdens, with a global incidence of 300-660 million cases every year, of which 80 million cases are in India alone (Robert W. Snow et al. 2005, Eline Korenromp 2005). According to recent estimates, one third of the human population lives in areas exposed to the most severe form of malaria, caused by Plasmodium fa...
BACKGROUND Malaria control in remote, forested areas of the Mekong region relies on personal protection from mosquito bites. Uptake of these methods may be limited by knowledge of the link between mosquitoes and malaria as well as social and economic aspects. Understanding barriers to uptake will inform malaria control programmes on targets for improvement of delivery. METHODS A total 748 key...
Editor – In a recent letter (1) Dr Christian Lengeler dismisses as invalid our comparisons (2) of recent trials with pyrethroid-treated nets versus trials 20–40 years ago with house spraying of non-pyrethroid insecticides. One of his reasons is that the initial intensities of malaria transmission were different in the trials compared. Lengeler may postulate that the lower intensity of transmiss...
dramatically since 2006, especially in the wake of the UN secretary-general's call for universal malaria control coverage by the end of 2010. " The report reveals that new methods of estimating malaria incidence found 247 million cases of the disease in 2006. However, malaria deaths have declined in several countries and, in a few African nations, deaths have been reduced by half by the impleme...
BACKGROUND The World Health Organization recommends intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) in African regions with moderate to high malaria transmission. However, growing resistance to SP threatens the effectiveness of IPTp-SP, and alternative drugs are needed. This study tested the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of a fixed-dose combination...
