Willingness and ability to pay for insecticide : treated nets in Northern Ghana
Insecticide treated nets (ITNs) are a highly cost-effective tool in malaria control and has been associated with reductions in morbidity and mortality in children. Even though their efficacy has been established, the success of their use as a malaria control tool depends on their effective …

Utilisation of insecticide treated nets among women in rural Nigeria: themes, stories, and performance
… researchers have tried to proffer solutions. Insecticide treated nets (ITN) have been identified as providing approximately 80% protection against malaria attack. However, all the measures put in place to control malaria failed to meet up with the set target of the Roll Back Malaria …

The effect of removing tariffs and domestic taxes on insecticide treated nets (ITNs), netting materials and insecticides in Zimbabwe
The use of Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs) has already proved to be a cost effective way of malaria vector control. The important emphasis now should therefore be on how to increase the accessibility and utilization of the mosquito nets through devising viable financing and promotional mechanisms …

Determination of Allosteric Solvent Effects Between Acetylcholinesterase and Mosquito Selective Carbamates: Implications for High Throughput Screening of Insecticides
… of new, selective mosquitocides for use on insecticide-treated nets. We have developed several phenyl-substituted N-methylcarbamates producing a high degree of selectivity for Anopheles gambiae acetylcholinesterase (AgAChE) over human AChE. Molecular models suggest alternate conformations …

Molecular, Biochemical, and Toxicological Evaluation of Anticholinesterases for control of the Malaria Mosquito, Anopheles gambiae
Pyrethroids are the only class of insecticides approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) for use in insecticide treated nets (ITNs), the first line of malaria vector control. Widespread resistance development to pyrethroids undermines current control efforts, and hence an urgent need for …

Simulation and visualization of malaria transmission In West Africa
… control programs like the distribution of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) will result in a loss of acquired immunity for the population. If the ITN coverage is discontinued after a period of time, relatively strong malaria resurgence will occur. This thesis also presents a web-based mapping …

Measuring competence among Health Workers in case management of malaria in pregnancy in Rural Zambia(Gwembe)
… If the prevention methods like sleeping under insecticide-treated nets, and indoor residual spraying fail then treatment is imperative. Treatment begins with recognizing the symptoms of malaria, and giving the correct medication. Competency is the simultaneous integration of knowledge, skills, …

Investigating the role of glutathione and glutathione biosynthetic genes in the adaption of Anopheles gambiae to insecticides
… where vector control measures involve the use of insecticides in the forms of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS). The development of insecticides resistance mitigates these approaches. Glutathione (GSH) is widely distributed among all living organisms, …

Antimalarial Agents: New Mechanisms of Actions for Old and New Drugs
… Due to recent emergence of resistance to current insecticides and antimalarial drugs there is a pressing need to discover and develop new agents that engage new targets in these organisms. To circumvent the effect of resistance to pyrethroid insecticides on the efficacy of insecticide treated nets …

Revisiting aryl N-methylcarbamate acetylcholinesterase inhibitors as potential insecticides to combat the malaria-transmitting mosquito, Anopheles gambiae
… was equal to the commonly used agricultural insecticide, propoxur (9a, LC₅₀ = 0.037 mg/mL). In total, seventy aryl carbamates were screened for their inhibition potency and contact toxicity towards An. gambiae. The common final step in all of these syntheses was the carbamoylation of a …

Fluoromethyl ketone prodrugs: Potential new insecticides towards Anopheles gambiae
… threatened by growing resistance to pyrethroid insecticides. With the goal of developing new human-safe, resistance-breaking insecticides we have explored several classes of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. In vitro assay studies demonstrate that tri- and difluoromethyl ketones can potentially …

Small Core Heterocyclic Carbamates and Carboxamides: Resistance-breaking Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors Targeting the Malaria Mosquito, Anopheles gambiae
… to this disease. In the past, pyrethroid-treated mosquito nets have shown efficacy in reducing malaria transmission in many malaria endemic regions. However, an upsurge in the mosquito population that is resistant to pyrethroids threatens to compromise the efficacy of pyrethroid-treated …
