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. This study ... -
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. The cone ... -
In starvation, a bone can also be meat”: a mixed methods evaluation of factors associated with discarding of long-lasting insecticidal nets in Bagamoyo, Tanzania
Madumla, Edith; Moore, Sarah; Moore, Jason; Mbuba, Emmanuel; Mbeyela, Edgar; Kibondo, Ummi; Mmbaga, Selemani; Kobe, Dickson; Baraka, Jitihada; Msellemu, Daniel; Swai, Johnson; Mboma, Zawadi; Odufuwa, Olukayode (Springer Nature., 2022-03-24)Background: Between 2000 and 2019, more than 1.8 billion long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) were distributed in Africa. While the insecticidal durability of LLINs is around 3 years, nets are commonly discarded 2 years ... -
Long-lasting insecticidal nets retain bio-efficacy after 5 years of storage: implications for malaria control programmes
Musa, Jeremiah John; Moore, Sarah; Moore, Jason; Mbuba, Emmanuel; Mbeyela, Edgar; Kobe, Dickson; Swai, Johnson; Odufuwa, Olukayode (Springer Nature, 2020-03-14)Background: Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are the most sustainable and efective malaria control tool currently available. Global targets are for 80% of the population living in malaria endemic areas to have access ... -
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 ...
