| [resistance of malaria vectors to pyrethrins used for impregnating mosquito nets in benin, west africa]. | impregnated bednets can be considered a major tool for reducing anopheles bites, malaria morbidity and overall mortality. the resistance of anopheles gambiae to pyrethroids used to impregnate bednets and curtains has already been noted in the urban area of cotonou in benin (18, 21). in this study, we wished to find out if the resistance observed in cotonou is localized only in this town or is already extensive throughout benin. in this case, such resistance would be a handicap to the promotion o ... | 1999 | 10399604 |
| [lagoonal and coastal malaria at cotonou: entomological findings]. | nowadays, malaria control is planned according to the epidemiological context. various aspects of malaria have been described in sub-saharan africa. we report here entomological data from the coastal area of benin, west africa, which has many lakes and lagoons. we carried out a longitudinal study in which we investigated the dynamics of populations of malaria vectors in various zones, the frequency of inoculation in these zones, the infestation rate of the anopheles gambiae mosquitoes collected, ... | 2000 | 11111245 |
| bednets for malaria. reports from the field -- africa. | in benin, research is underway to determine how to convince people to use bed nets to prevent the mosquito bites that cause malaria. to determine use patterns, researchers have surveyed 1550 families who purchased lightweight tulle bednets impregnated with an odor-free insecticide. although this project has emphasized the importance of protecting children, male heads of household sometimes appropriate the bednets for their own use. many people are unaware that malaria can be transmitted by a ... | 1997 | 12290328 |
| malaria infection and disease in an area with pyrethroid-resistant vectors in southern benin. | this study aimed to investigate baseline data on malaria before the evaluation of new vector control strategies in an area of pyrethroid-resistance of vectors. the burden of malaria was estimated in terms of infection (prevalence and parasite density) and of clinical episodes. | 2010 | 21194470 |
