Free distribution of insecticidal bed nets improves possession and preferential use by households and is equitable: findings from two cross-sectional surveys in thirteen malaria endemic districts of Bangladesh

Syed M Ahmed, Shamim Hossain, Mohammad M Kabir, Sanjit Roy Malaria Journal 2011, 10:357 (13 December 2011)

Success of any bed-net programme depends on two key issues, community acceptability of nets and compliance to use. In this context, the present manuscript assumes importance as it has clearly summarized the results of the study that assessed the progress in the possession of nets by the community and their preferential use. The outcome of the study has practical implication on malaria control.

Comparative analyses reveal discrepancies among results of commonly used methods for Anopheles gambiae molecular form identification

Federica Santolamazza, Beniamino Caputo, Maria Calzetta, José L Vicente, Emiliano Mancini, Vincenzo Petrarca, João Pinto, Alessandra della Torre Malaria Journal 2011, 10:215 (2 August 2011)

The results reveal that the PCR and PCR-RFLP approaches most commonly utilized to identify A. gambiae M and S forms are not fully interchangeable, as usually assumed. There are operational suggestions on the choice of the most convenient method for large-scale M- and S-form identification.

Efficacy of PermaNet® 2.0 and PermaNet® 3.0 against insecticide-resistant Anopheles gambiae in experimental huts in Côte d'Ivoire

Benjamin G Koudou, Alphonsine A Koffi, David Malone, Janet Hemingway Malaria Journal 2011, 10:172 (23 June 2011)

A contribution to the evaluation of the efficacy of PermaNet 3.0 against insecticide resistant Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes in Cote d’Ivoire, done in the framework of WHOPES.

Absence of knockdown resistance suggests metabolic resistance in the main malaria vectors of the Mekong region

Katrijn Verhaeghen, Wim Van Bortel, Ho Trung, Tho Sochantha, Marc Coosemans Malaria Journal 2009, 8:84 (28 April 2009)

At a time when artemisinin resistance appears to be emerging in the region, the application of available malaria control measures is of strategic importance. Insecticide resistance may jeopardize the success of such programmes.

Malaria transmission pattern resilience to climatic variability is mediated by insecticide-treated nets

Luis Chaves, Akira Kaneko, George Taleo, Mercedes Pascual, Mark L Wilson Malaria Journal 2008, 7:100 (2 June 2008)

A paper looking at the impact of bed net use on malaria incidence in a low transmission area, taking into account climatic factors. The approach is interesting even if it does not take into account other factors of variation such as access to treatment, drug resistance or other control interventions.
