Global Malaria Programme Indoor residual spraying Use of indoor residual spraying for scaling up global malaria control and elimination
Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is one of the primary vector control interventions for reducing and interrupting malaria transmission. In recent years, however, it has received relatively little attention. Recent data reconfirms the efficacy and effectiveness of IRS in malaria control in countries where it was implemented well. Effective implementation of IRS with DDT or other recommended insect...
متن کاملFeasibility and Effectiveness of mHealth for Mobilizing Households for Indoor Residual Spraying to Prevent Malaria: A Case Study in Mali
Components of mHealth are increasingly being added to development interventions worldwide. A particular case of interest is in Mali where the U.S. President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) Africa Indoor Residual Spraying (AIRS) Project piloted a mobile mass-messaging service in Koulikoro District in August 2014 to determine whether voice and/or text messages received on cell phones could effectively...
متن کاملNew Ways of Approaching Indoor Residual Spraying for Malaria
The article by Johns et. al. on indoor residual spraying (IRS) for malaria control in Ethiopia, published in this issue of GHSP, presents a variation on standard IRS operating procedures by essentially replacing the “squad leader,” usually recruited from the district town, with the health extension worker (HEW) from the community. The squad leader supervises the spray operators, who are also re...
متن کاملDDT contamination from indoor residual spraying for malaria control.
The insecticide DDT is still used in specific areas of South Africa for indoor residual spray (IRS) to control malaria vectors. Local residents could be exposed to residues of DDT through various pathways including indoor air, dust, soil, food and water. The aims of this study were to determine the levels of DDT contamination, as a result of IRS, in representative homesteads, and to evaluate th...
متن کاملDetermining Effective Spraying Periods to Control Malaria via Indoor Residual Spraying in Sub-Saharan Africa
Indoor residual spraying—spraying insecticide inside houses to kill mosquitoes—is an important method for controlling malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa. We propose a mathematical model for both regular and non-fixed spraying, using impulsive differential equations. First, we determine the stability properties of the nonimpulsive system. Next, we derive minimal effective spraying intervals a...
