Impact of insecticide-treated nets on wild pyrethroid resistant **Anopheles epiroticus** population from southern Vietnam tested in experimental huts Universiteit Antwerpen
Spatial models for the rational allocation of routinely distributed bed nets to public health facilities in Western Kenya Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
BACKGROUND: In high to moderate malaria transmission areas of Kenya, long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are provided free of charge to pregnant women and infants during routine antenatal care (ANC) and immunization respectively. Quantities of LLINs distributed to clinics are quantified based on a combination of monthly consumption data and population size of target counties. However, this approach has been shown to lead to stock-outs in ...
Serological markers of sand fly exposure to evaluate insecticidal nets against visceral leishmaniasis in India and Nepal: a cluster-randomized trial Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Effect of insecticide-treated bed nets on visceral leishmaniasis incidence in Bangladesh: a retrospective cohort analysis Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Background: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a parasitic disease, transmitted by the sand fly species Phlebotomus argentipes in the Indian sub-continent. Effective vector control is highly desirable to reduce vector density and human and vector contact in the endemic communities with the aim to curtail disease transmission. We evaluated the effect of long lasting insecticide treated bed nets (LLIN) and bed nets impregnated with slow-release ...
