Neonatal Malaria in the Gambia
BACKGROUND Neonatal malaria was thought to be uncommon, even in malaria endemic areas. Neonates with febrile illness and / or related symptoms are often presumed to have neonatal septicaemia and examination of blood films for malaria parasites is rarely included in the initial work-up of these babies. OBJECTIVE To determine the existence, or otherwise, and the clinical features of malaria in ...
متن کاملIntegrated malaria vector control with microbial larvicides and insecticide-treated nets in western Kenya: a controlled trial.
OBJECTIVE To assess the contributions of both microbial larvicides and insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) in terms of reducing malaria incidence in an integrated vector management programme in an area moderately endemic for malaria in the western Kenyan highlands. METHODS A pre-post, control group design was used. Larval and adult vector populations were surveyed weekly in six separate valley co...

15 صفحه اولThe impact of long-lasting microbial larvicides in reducing malaria transmission and clinical malaria incidence: study protocol for a cluster randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND The massive scale-up of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) has led to a substantial increase in malaria vector insecticide resistance as well as in increased outdoor transmission, both of which hamper the effectiveness and efficiency of ITN and IRS. Long-lasting microbial larvicide can be a cost-effective new supplemental intervention tool for malaria ...
متن کاملMicrobial larvicides for the control of nuisance aquatic midges (Diptera: Chironomidae) inhabiting mesocosms and man-made lakes in California.
Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (B.t.i.) and B. sphaericus were evaluated for chironomid larvicidal activity in freshwater mesocosms. Of two B.t.i. formulations, the technical powder ABG-6164 provided excellent control of chironomines (94%) at the rate of 11.2 kg/ha whereas the liquid concentrate, Vectobac 6 AS, achieved only moderate control (57%) at the rate of 22.4 kg/ha. In contrast...
