Impact of insecticide-treated nets on wild pyrethroid resistant **Anopheles epiroticus** population from southern Vietnam tested in experimental huts University of Antwerp
Background In this study, the efficacy of insecticide-treated nets was evaluated in terms of deterrence, blood-feeding inhibition, induced exophily and mortality on a wild resistant population of Anopheles epiroticus in southern Vietnam, in order to gain insight into the operational consequences of the insecticide resistance observed in this malaria vector in the Mekong delta. Method An experimental station, based on the model of West Africa and ...
Effect of insecticide-treated bed nets on visceral leishmaniasis incidence in Bangladesh: a retrospective cohort analysis Institute of Tropical Medicine
Background: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a parasitic disease, transmitted by the sand fly species Phlebotomus argentipes in the Indian sub-continent. Effective vector control is highly desirable to reduce vector density and human and vector contact in the endemic communities with the aim to curtail disease transmission. We evaluated the effect of long lasting insecticide treated bed nets (LLIN) and bed nets impregnated with slow-release ...
Effectiveness of insecticide-treated and untreated nets to prevent malaria in India KU Leuven
India is the most malaria-endemic country in South-East Asia, resulting in a high socio-economic burden. Insecticide-treated or untreated nets are effective interventions to prevent malaria. As part of an Indian first-aid guideline project, we aimed to investigate the magnitude of this effect in India.

Effect of insecticide-treated bed nets on visceral leishmaniasis incidence in Bangladesh: a retrospective cohort analysis Institute of Tropical Medicine
A malaria control trial using insecticide-treated bed nets and targeted chemoprophylaxis in a rural area of The Gambia, West Africa. 4. Perceptions of the causes and of its treatment and prevention in the study area Institute of Tropical Medicine
Determinants of uptake, short-term and continued use of insecticide-treated curtains and jar covers for dengue control Ghent University
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the acceptance and long-term use of insecticide-treated (IT) materials for dengue vector control. METHODS In 2007, IT jar covers and/or curtains (PermaNet (R)) were distributed under routine conditions to 4101 households (10 clusters) in Venezuela and to 2032 households (22 clusters) in Thailand. The use of IT tools was measured at distribution (uptake), at 5/6 months (short-term use) and at 18/22 months (continued use) ...
Traditional nets interfere with the uptake of long-lasting insecticidal nets in the peruvian Amazon: the relevance of net preference for achieving high coverage and use Institute of Tropical Medicine
BACKGROUND: While coverage of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLIN) has steadily increased, a growing number of studies report gaps between net ownership and use. We conducted a mixed-methods social science study assessing the importance of net preference and use after Olyset(R) LLINs were distributed through a mass campaign in rural communities surrounding Iquitos, the capital city of the Amazonian region of Peru. METHODS: The study was ...
