Acceptability of insecticide treated nets in an urban setting in a malarious area
Malaria has long been considered a rural disease. However, rapid urbanization, the expansion of urban malaria vectors, and the subsequent, ongoing surge in malaria cases across sub-Saharan Africa, including Ethiopia, underscore the need to address malaria in urban contexts. This study therefore aims to explore the acceptability of insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) in an urban setting using the theoretical framework of acceptability. Eight Focus…
Genome-wide SNPs reveal novel patterns of spatial genetic structure in Aedes albopictus (Diptera Culicidae) population in China
Introduction Since the second half of the 20th century, Aedes albopictus , a vector for more than 20 arboviruses, has spread worldwide. Aedes albopictus is the main vector of infectious diseases transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes in China, and it has caused concerns regarding public health. A comprehensive understanding of the spatial genetic structure of this vector species at a genomic level is essential for effective vector control and the preven…
Burden of malaria, impact of interventions and climate variability in Western Ethiopia
Malaria was and will remain to be a major public health problem in the area. The social and economic impact of the disease on the local community is clearly pronounced as it is the leading cause of health facility visit and admission including the mortality associated with it. Scale up of effective interventions is quite important. Continuous monitoring of the performance of the vector control tools needs to be done
Use of Twitter data to improve Zika virus surveillance in the United States during the 2016 epidemic
This study demonstrates the value of utilizing Twitter data for the purposes of disease surveillance. This is of high value to epidemiologist and public health officials charged with protecting the public during future outbreaks
Malaria mosquito control using edible fish in western Kenya
This study reports the first field trial data on O. niloticus for malaria mosquito control and shows that this species, already a popular food fish in western Kenya, is an apparently sustainable mosquito control tool which also offers a source of protein and income to people in rural areas. There should be no problem with acceptance of this malaria control method since the local communities already farm this fish species
