Outdoor attractive targeted sugar bait Phase III trials for malaria control in Kenya, Mali, and Zambia
Attractive targeted sugar baits (ATSB) are a potential new class of vector control tool that act through an “attract and kill” mechanism on mosquitoes. We conducted a meta-analysis using data from three large-scale Phase III trials of the Westham Sarabi v1.2 ATSB (0.11% dinotefuran) conducted in Kenya, Mali, and Zambia, to determine the effect of the intervention on clinical malaria incidence in children, Plasmodium falciparum infection prevalenc…
Attractive targeted sugar baits for malaria control in western Kenya (ATSB-Kenya) – Effect of ATSBs on epidemiologic and entomologic indicators
Attractive targeted sugar baits (ATSBs) are a novel malaria control tool designed to target mosquitoes outdoors. We conducted a cluster-randomised trial to evaluate the impact of ATSBs on malaria indicators in Kenya. Seventy clusters (≥100 households/cluster) in Siaya county were randomly assigned (1:1) to intervention or control. Pyrethroid-only long-lasting insecticidal nets were distributed to all clusters, aiming for universal coverage. Two A…
Altitude, not potential larval habitat availability, explains pronounced variation in Plasmodium falciparum infection prevalence in the western Kenya highlands
Progress in malaria control has stalled over the recent years. Knowledge on main drivers of transmission explaining small-scale variation in prevalence can inform targeted control measures. We collected finger-prick blood samples from 3061 individuals irrespective of clinical symptoms in 20 clusters in Busia in western Kenya and screened for Plasmodium falciparum parasites using qPCR and microscopy. Clusters spanned an altitude range of 207 meter…
