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
(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 ...
Comparison of cone bioassay estimates at two laboratories with different Anopheles mosquitoes for quality assurance of pyrethroid insecticide-treated nets
(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 ...
Long-lasting insecticidal nets retain bio-efficacy after 5 years of storage: implications for malaria control programmes
(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 ...
Cone Bioassays Provide Reproducible Bioefficacy Estimates with Different Anopheline Mosquitoes and Can Be Used for Quality Assurance of Pyrethroid Insecticide Treated Nets
(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 ...
