Abstract Background The Cascades region, Burkina Faso, has a high malaria burden despite reported insecticide-treated mosquito net (ITN) use. Human and vector activities outside the hours when indoor interventions offer direct protection from infectious bites potentially increase exposure risk to malaria-transmitting Anopheles mosquitoes. This work investigated degree of variation in human beha...

The use of long lasting insecticide nets (LLINs) treated with pyrethroïd is known for its major contribution in malaria control. However, LLINs are suspected to induce behavioral changes in malaria vectors, which may in turn drastically affect their efficacy against Plasmodium sp. transmission. In sub Saharan Africa, where malaria imposes the heaviest burden, the main malaria vectors are widely...

Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are one of the most important and cost-effective tools for malaria control. Maximizing individual and community benefit from ITNs requires high population-based coverage. Several mechanisms are used to distribute ITNs, including health facility-based targeted distribution to high-risk groups; community-based mass distribution; social marketing with or without pri...

Data used for analysis is from Demographics and Health Surveys 2019 Senegal. Linear regression models were performed with an estimation of the mean number persons using ITNs among groups (urban or rural areas, wealth level, highest education level in household age head) each country. We evaluated importance co-factors relationship between (insecticide-treated nets) a members by calculating R-sq...
