“…If CDC light traps are to be used as a replacement for indoor HLCs, it would be impractical and unethical in an area with high ITN use to replace all existing nets with untreated bed nets for monitoring purposes. Previous studies have shown a slight decrease in 8 or no effect on 28 the sampling efficiency of CDC traps in the presence of ITNs. However, although surrounding occupied beds were covered with ITNs, the CDC traps in both of these investigations were hung next to untreated bed nets.…”

“…Six sentinel rooms in 32 clusters, where a consenting adult slept under a bednet, were sampled monthly in both transmission seasons. Potential risk factors known to affect mosquito densities in The Gambia 29 were recorded at each collection. Mosquitoes were killed by freezing before morphological identification by standard keys 30,31 and unfed and blood-fed mosquitoes were dissected to determine whether they were parous.…”

“…Screening was highly effective in reducing overall indoor mosquito density by 40% in Ethiopia, [60] 59% in Gambia [61] and a reduction in incidence of malaria and prevalence of anaemia. [62] Fitting nets or metal mesh on windows and a secondary door (automatically controlled by an elastic band or iron spring), could reduce mosquitoes entering houses.…”

“…[64] It has dual benefits of preventing entry of mosquitoes and other potentially harmful organisms while at same time keeps houses airy (when eaves are closed with mesh), hence, highly acceptable. [61] Also, screening has no gender inequity concerns because protection does not target individuals. [65] The possibility of using expired ITNs [64] and locally affordable and accessible materials like mud, palms and sticks, [60,63] makes screening highly financially feasible and highly sustainable.…”

Abstract:Despite 66 percent reduction in mortality between 2000 and 2015, malaria remains a major global public health problem, affecting mostly Sub-Saharan Africa. Cameroon remains endemic to malaria, with about 41 percent suffering at least one episode of malaria, annual overall mortality of 30 to 35 percent and 67 percent childhood mortality. Cameroon government's subsidy on artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) for uncomplicated malaria, intermittent preventive treatment for pregnant women (IPTp), free distribution of insecticide treated bed nets (ITNs) to pregnant women and under-fives have been more of a top-down approach, with the affected communities mainly at the receiving end. Challenges of failed adherence to test results, drug and insecticide resistance, substandard and self-medication, low ITN ownership and utilisation have been identified, especially in the rural areas. This study reviews malaria prevention in Cameroon and proposes community based context-specific complementary interventions strategies that will promote community participation in prevention and mitigate the effects of poverty towards achievement of the sustainable development goals targets for malaria. The study involved an in-depth review of secondary data from electronic and non-electronic documents. Electronic search was done in Global Health, PubMed, governmental and non-governmental organisation websites, journals and google scholar. Non-electronic documents from the University of Leeds and World Health Organisation (WHO), Geneva libraries were also used. A conceptual framework on integrated community-based approach on intervention to prevent neglected tropical diseases and infectious diseases of poverty was adapted and used, while different intervention strategies were analysed. A total of 96 publications were eligible for inclusion. Analysis of the factors influencing malaria prevention in Cameroon, reveals that current measures alone are insufficient. Therefore, a combination of multiple delivery strategies using an integrated community-based approach is likely to be more effective in breaking the transmission cycle than single programme interventions. Concurrent implementation of community mobilisation through social groups and Village Development Committees, education on house screening, training of mothers and caregivers and health promotion through environmental management were recommended as the best and most feasible strategies to complement current interventions in Cameroon.

Risk factors for house-entry by malaria vectors in a rural town and satellite villages in The Gambia

Abstract: Background: In the pre-intervention year of a randomized controlled trial investigating the protective effects of house screening against malaria-transmitting vectors, a multi-factorial risk factor analysis study was used to identify factors that influence mosquito house entry.
