Factors associated with mosquito net use by individuals in households owning nets in Ethiopia Patricia M Graves, Jeremiah M Ngondi, Jimee Hwang, Asefaw Getachew, Teshome Gebre, Aryc W Mosher, Amy E Patterson, Estifanos B Shargie, Zerihun Tadesse, Adam Wolkon, Richard Reithinger, Paul M Emerson, Frank O Richards Malaria Journal 2011, 10:354 (13 December 2011) One of the main findings in this paper is the seemingly strong association between net condition/age and net use. The issue of ¿net expiry¿, i.e. when is a net considered expired or no longer suitable for use, has received minimal research investigation and the findings of this paper suggest dedicated investigation is warranted.

Allassane F Ouattara, Giovanna Raso, Constant VA Edi, Jürg Utzinger, Marcel Tanner, Mamadou Dagnogo, Benjamin G Koudou Malaria Journal 2011, 10:288 (4 October 2011) Paper sheds light on fundamental issues, such as inequality in health and the value of health promotion and education, particularly among the poorer segments of the population. Such knowledge may change behaviour and lead to an increased utilization of LLINs.

Awareness, attitudes and prevention of malaria in the cities of Douala and Yaoundé (Cameroon) Cyrille Ndo, Benjamin Menze-Djantio, Christophe Antonio-Nkondjio Parasites & Vectors 2011, 4:181 (20 September 2011) Malaria remains a major public health threat in Cameroon. This study reports on the knowledge, attitudes and management of malaria cases by households living in the cities of Douala and Yaounde (Cameroon). The study also highlights major obstacles to the use of bed-nets and adequate malaria treatment by communities. Image: Anopheline breeding sites in Douala, Cameroon.

Predictors of mosquito net use in Ghana Carol A Baume, Ana Cláudia Franca-Koh Malaria Journal 2011, 10:265 (15 September 2011) This study examines the factors associated with use of nets owned in Ghana. The results of this study suggest that net use would increase in Ghana if a number of features where taken into consideration.

Jodi Vanden Eng, Julie Thwing, Adam Wolkon, Manisha A Kulkarni, Ayub Manya, Marcy Erskine, Allen Hightower, Laurence Slutsker Malaria Journal 2010, 9:133 (18 May 2010) Presents timely results from post-campaign surveys across 5 countries scaling-up ITNs/LLINs. The researchers present a framework for assessing the deficiencies in ITN use among target populations. This approach could be very useful to NMCP managers to assess efforts to increase ITN use and to identify populations in need of additional targeting to get use levels up.

Jo-An M Atkinson, Lisa Fitzgerald, Hilson Toaliu, George Taleo, Anna Tynan, Maxine Whittaker, Ian Riley, Andrew Vallely Malaria Journal 2010, 9:93 (12 April 2010) This article is part of a collection on Towards malaria... The study emphasizes the importance of community participation in achieving and sustaining malaria elimination. Approaches focusing exclusively on expectations of individual behaviour change are unlikely to produce substantial and long-term effects in malaria prevention and, instead, comprehensive interventions are needed that take account of the social context.
