Malaria prevention in highland Kenya: Indoor residual house-spraying vs. insecticide-treated bednets by Guyatt, H.L., Corlett, S.K., Robinson, Timothy P., Ochola S.A., Snow, R.W.

“…This study compares the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of indoor residual house-spraying (IRS) and insecticide-treated bednets (ITNs) against infection with Plasmodium falciparum as part of malaria control in the highlands of western Kenya. …”

Evaluation of a topical formulation of eprinomectin against Anopheles arabiensis when administered to Zebu cattle (Bos indicus) under field conditions by Lozano Fuentes, S., Kading, R.C., Hartman, D.A., Okoth, Edward A., Githaka, Naftaly W., Nene, Vishvanath M., Poché, R.M.

“…Background Although vector control strategies, such as insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) have been effective in Kenya the transmission of malaria continues to afflict western Kenya. …”

The impact of a small-scale irrigation scheme on malaria transmission in Ziway area, central Ethiopia by Kibret, S., Alemu, Y., Boelee, Eline, Tekie, H., Alemu, D., Petros, B.

“…Peak biting activities of the vectors occurred before 22:00 h, which is a source of concern that the effectiveness of ITNs may be compromised as the mosquitoes feed on blood before people go to bed. conclusion Irrigation schemes along the Ethiopian Rift Valley may intensify malaria by increasing the level of prevalence during the dry season. …”

Epidemiology and control of malaria in irrigated parts of Tana River County, Kenya by Muriuki, J.M.

“…This study showed that the high usage of Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs) and Artemetherlumefantrine (AL) could have led to a decrease in malaria prevalence in irrigated parts of Tana River County despite the intensification of irrigated agriculture. …”

Preliminary efficacy investigations of oral fipronil against Anopheles arabiensis when administered to Zebu cattle (Bos indicus) under field conditions by Poché, R.M., Githaka, Naftaly W., Gool, F. van, Kading, R.C., Hartman, D., Polyakova, L., Abworo, Edward O., Nene, Vishvanath M., Lozano Fuentes, S.

“…Globally, malaria remains one of the most important vector-borne diseases despite the extensive use of vector control, including indoor residual spraying (IRS) and insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). These control methods target endophagic vectors, whereas some malaria vectors, such as Anopheles arabiensis, preferentially feed outdoors on cattle, making it a complicated vector to control using conventional strategies. …”

Vargangrepp på får: orsaker och förebyggande åtgärder by Hellqvist, Anna-Lotta

“…Detta har gjort att vargen sett som en blodtörsig mördare som dödar för nöjes skull men så är itne fallet. Det överdrivna dödandet är en del av en födosökningsstrategi som kallas för partial prey consumpion (PPC). …”
