چکیده
Résumé La lutte antivectorielle, sélective et durable, est l'une des quatre composantes de la Stratégie mondiale de Lutte contre le Paludisme (OMS, 1992) et représente l'une des premières méthodes de prévention de la maladie parasitaire. De nombreuses méthodes de lutte contre les anophèles sont toujours disponibles et valables; leur choix est fonction des contextes éco-épidémiologiques et des contraintes socio-économiques. Les classiques aspersions pariétales intradomiciliaires conservent tout leur potentiel, notamment en zone, ou période, d'épidémie, mais ont leur limitation. En zone d'endémie palustre stable, il est justifié de développer des méthodes de protection individuelle et familiale comme les moustiquaires imprégnées, qui ont montré une grande efficacité dans la réduction du paludisme (transmission, incidence, fortes parasitémies, morbidité voire mortalité) lorsqu'elles étaient employées à grande échelle. Les problèmes opérationnels relatifs à la promotion et la mise en oeuvre des moustiquaires imprégnées peuvent, de façon didactique, être regroupés selon 4 thèmes majeurs: problèmes techniques, socio-culturels, économiques et pratiques. Dans le présent article, nous examinons quelques aspects de ces problèmes àla lumière des travaux récemment réalisés en Afrique, au Sud du Sahara, pour en tirer les enseignements facilitant I'applicabilité des moustiquaires imprégnées et leur adoption par les communautés.
