Determinants of household demand for bed nets in a rural area of southern Mozambique

Claire Chase, Elisa Sicuri, Charfudin Sacoor, Delino Nhalungo, Ariel Nhacolo, Pedro L Alonso, Clara Menéndez Malaria Journal 2009, 8:132 (15 June 2009)

The evidence fails to suggest that poorer households are less likely to own bed nets, when controlling for covariates, nor does the likelihood of receiving a free net depend on socioeconomic status. The paper provides crucial information for the national planning of malaria control activities and there are a number of findings that can be generalized to comparable settings.

Costs and cost-effectiveness of vector control in Eritrea using insecticide-treated bed nets

Joshua O Yukich, Mehari Zerom, Tewolde Ghebremeskel, Fabrizio Tediosi, Christian Lengeler Malaria Journal 2009, 8:51 (30 March 2009)

This study addresses the cost effectiveness of ITN delivery through routine public sector delivery systems in Eritrea, a country often used as an example of a success story in terms of the outcomes achieved and it was important to know whether it is also cost effective.

Costs and consequences of large-scale vector control for malaria

Joshua O Yukich, Christian Lengeler, Fabrizio Tediosi, Nick Brown, Jo-Ann Mulligan, Des Chavasse, Warren Stevens, John Justino, Lesong Conteh, Rajendra Maharaj, Marcy Erskine, Dirk H Mueller, Virginia Wiseman, Tewolde Ghebremeskel, Mehari Zerom, Catherine Goodman, David McGuire, Juan Urrutia, Fana Sakho, Kara Hanson, Brian Sharp Malaria Journal 2008, 7:258 (17 December 2008)

Five ITN programmes and two IRS programmes were compared using a standardized costing methodology. Both ITNs and IRS are highly cost-effective vector control strategies. ITNs are more cost-effective than IRS for highly endemic settings, especially if high ITN coverage can be achieved with some demographic targeting.
