Resistance monitoring is essential in ensuring the success of insecticide based vector control programmes. This study was carried out to assess susceptibility status urban populations Anopheles gambiae carbamate being considered for mosquito previously reported be resistant DDT and permethrin. Two – three day old adult female mosquitoes reared from larval collections 11 sites Local Government Areas Lagos were exposed test papers impregnated with 4%, deltamethrin 0.05% propoxur 0.1%...
Anopheles gambiae, An. coluzzii and arabiensis are the three major vectors of malaria in Nigeria. These mosquitoes have developed resistance to different insecticides. Insecticides intensity assay was recently introduced provide insight into potential operational significance insecticide resistance. Here, we present data on pyrethroids mechanisms from six vector surveillance sites (Lagos, Ogun, Edo, Anambra, Kwara Niger) Adult reared larval collections were tested using WHO insecticides...
Essential oils (EOs) from insecticidal plants are becoming prominent again because of their effectiveness in managing disease vectors as well eco-friendly nature. The present study evaluated the activity three Citrus species, namely limon, C. sinensis, and aurantifolia, against larvae adults Anopheles gambiae. These fully mature species collected Ilorin, Nigeria, were extracted, chemical components identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. EOs extracted then assessed for...
In Nigeria, most research and malaria vector control efforts have focused on primary vectors within the Anopheles gambiae complex, with less emphasis other secondary vectors. Consequently, understudied demonstrated a proportional increasing role in transmission. This study utilized geospatial models to understand potential distribution of anopheline species than An . complex (non- species) Nigeria. Adult mosquitoes were sampled monthly between 2020 2022, concurrent surveys larval sites...
PermaNet® 3.0 is an insecticide synergist-combination long-lasting insecticidal net designed to have increased efficacy against malaria vectors with metabolic resistance, even when combined kdr. The current study reports on the impact of this improved tool entomological indices in area pyrethroid-resistant Nigeria. Baseline across eight villages Remo North LGA Ogun State provided basis for selection three (Ilara, Irolu and Ijesa) comparing (PN3.0), 2.0 (PN2.0) untreated polyester nets as a...
Nigeria is one of the malaria-endemic countries. In Lagos State, Nigeria, various malaria vector control programs including use chemical insecticides are currently being implemented. This study was designed to provide information on susceptibility status some nontargeted vectors such as Aedes aegypti . Adult Ae. mosquitoes from two farm sites and a nonfarm site were exposed World Health Organization test papers impregnated with Deltamethrin (0.05%), Permethrin (0.75%), DDT (4%) insecticides....
Malaria is a leading public health challenge causing mortality and morbidity in sub-Saharan Africa. Prominent malaria vector control methods employed Africa include Long Lasting Insecticide Nets (LLINs) Indoor Residual spraying (IRS). This study investigated knowledge, attitude practices (KAP) of Lagos, South-West Nigeria. Structured questionnaires were for the cross-sectional survey which was carried out between May August 2018. Multi-stage sampling technique used to select Lagos Mainland,...
Background. PermaNet® 3.0 (PN 3.0) is a combination long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) designed to have increased efficacy against pyrethroid-resistant malaria vectors. Field testing of this new tool under normal use has been limited. Here we report on small-scale village trial carried out at two localities where vectors were resistant pyrethroid insecticides. Methods. Nets distributed cover all sleeping spaces and evaluated for activity. Households visited assess usage reported side...
Indoor resting mosquitoes were collected between November 2013 and May 2014 using Pyrethrum spray collection (PSC). The identified morphological keys species specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays. composition of members the An. gambiae complex reported malaria cases in selected study communities spatially mapped Arc GIS software. A total 645 from sites morphologically identified. This comprised 598 (92%) Anopheles species, 42 (7%) Culex 5 (1%) Aedes species. One hundredand...
Intense pyrethroid resistance threatens the effectiveness of primary vector control intervention, insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), in Nigeria, country with largest malaria burden globally. In this study, epidemiological and entomological impact a new type ITN (piperonyl-butoxide [PBO] ITNs) distributed Ebonyi State were evaluated. The was also compared to standard pyrethroid-only ITNs Cross River State. A controlled interrupted time series analysis conducted on monthly incidence data...
Three communities along Badagry axis of the Lagos lagoon were sampled for indoor resting Anopheles mosquitoes in order to determine their species composition, relative abundance, density and contribution malaria transmission coastal ecosystem. A total 1938 adult female collected from 2005 2007 constituted three viz gambiae, An melas An. nili. The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)–-based tests indicated that more than three-fourth gambiae s.l (75.8%) population belongs s.s remaining melas....
To examine malaria-related knowledge and practices among residents in Ilorin City to guide forthcoming malaria elimination action of the recently restructured Nigerian National Malaria Elimination Program. Community-wide cross-sectional study was conducted June 2012 using pretested structured questionnaire interview schedule collect information on perception, prevention treatment residents. Majority respondents attributed mosquito bites prevented disease through multiple means including use...
Entomological indices within a specific area vary with climatic factors such as rainfall, temperature and relative humidity. Contributions of weather parameter fluctuations to the changes in entomological data obtained community under implementation promising vector control intervention should be taken into account. This study reports on inter-annual two rural communities, one which was insecticide-treated durable wall lining (DL) installation.Community-wide DL installation followed by...
Correct vector identification is an important task in the planning and implementation of malaria control programmes. This study was designed to provide baseline information on species composition distribution members Anopheles gambiae complex three eco-vegetational zones Bayelsa state, Nigeria.Adult mosquitoes were collected by pyrethrum spray catch (PSC) randomly selected houses during September 2009-August 2010. identified using standard morphological keys. Mosquitoes as An. s.l. used for...
