Comparison of cone bioassay estimates at two laboratories with different Anopheles mosquitoes for quality assurance of pyrethroid insecticide-treated nets
Mbwambo, Stephen; Bubun, Nakei; Mbuba, Emmanuel; Moore, Jason; Mbina, Kasiani; Kamande, Dismas; Laman, Moses; Mpolya, Emmanuel; Odufuwa, Olukayode; Freeman, Tim; Karl, Stephan; Moore, Sarah (Springer Nature., 2022-07-07)ckground: Quality assurance (QA) of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) delivered to malaria-endemic countries is con ducted by measuring physiochemical parameters, but not bioefcacy against malaria mosquitoes.

Cone Bioassays Provide Reproducible Bioefficacy Estimates with Different Anopheline Mosquitoes and Can Be Used for Quality Assurance of Pyrethroid Insecticide Treated Nets
Mbwambo, Stephen; Bubun, Nakei; Mbuba, Emmanuel; Moore, Jason; Mbina, Kasiani; Kamande, Dismas; Laman, Moses; Mpolya, Emmanuel; Odufuwa, Olukayode; Freeman, Tim; Karl, Stephan; Moore, Sarah (Research Square, 2022-01-24)Background Quality assurance (QA) of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) delivered to malaria-endemic countries is conducted by measuring physiochemical parameters, but not bioecacy against malaria mosquitoes.

Modified who tunnel test for high through put evaluation of insecticide-treated nets considering the effects of hosts, exposure time and mosquito density
Kamande, Dismas (NM-AIST, 2022-08)The standard World Health Organization (WHO) tunnel test is a reliable laboratory bioassay used for "free flying" testing of Insecticide Treated Net (ITN) bio-efficacy. Multiple parameters affect the outcomes measured ... -
Modified World Health Organization (WHO) Tunnel Test for Higher Throughput Evaluation of Insecticide-Treated Nets (ITNs) Considering the Effect of Alternative Hosts, Exposure Time, and Mosquito Density
Kamande, Dismas; Odufuwa, Olukayode; Mbuba, Emmanuel; Hofer, Lorenz; Moore, Sarah (MDPI, 2022-06-21)The standard World Health Organization (WHO) tunnel test is a reliable laboratory bioassay used for “free-flying” testing of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) bio-efficacy where mosquitoes pass through a ITN sample to reach ...
