Title: | Netting barriers to prevent mosquito entry into houses in southern Mozambique: a pilot study | Authors: | Kampango, Ayubo Bragança, Mauro Sousa, Bruno de Charlwood, J. Derek |
Keywords: | Animals; Anopheles; Humans; Mosquito Control; Mosquito Nets; Mozambique; Pilot Projects; Population Density; Housing | Issue Date: | 2013 | Serial title, monograph or event: | Malaria Journal | Volume: | 12 | Issue: | 1 | Abstract: | One of the best ways to control the transmission of malaria is by breaking the vector-human link, either by reducing the effective population size of mosquitoes or avoiding infective bites. Reducing house entry rates in endophagic vectors by obstructing openings is one simple way of achieving this. Mosquito netting has previously been shown to have this effect. More recently different materials that could also be used have come onto the market. Therefore, a pilot study was conducted to investigate the protective effect of three types of material against Anopheles funestus and Anopheles gambiae s.l entry into village houses in Mozambique when applied over the large opening at the gables and both gables and eaves. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/46920 | DOI: | 10.1186/1475-2875-12-99 | Rights: | openAccess |
