  • Bicomponent fibres for controlled release of volatile mosquito repellents 
    Sibanda, Mthokozisi Mayibongwe; Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Braack, L.E.O.; Leuteritz, Andreas; Brünig, Harald; Tran, Nguyen Hoai An; Wieczorek, Florian; Trümper, Wolfgang (Elsevier, 2018-10)
    Core-sheath structured fibres were developed for application as part of an alternative malaria vector control intervention aimed at reducing outdoor malaria transmission. The fibres were prepared by melt spinning of high ...
  • Blooming of insecticides from polyethylene mesh and film 
    Mapossa, António Benjamim; Sibanda, Mthokozisi Mayibongwe; Moyo, Dennis Simbarashe; Kruger, Taneshka; Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Androsch, Rene; Boldt, Regine; Wesley-Smith, James (Taylor and Francis, 2021)
    Malaria remains a public health concern with vector control still the vital component of disease prevention, control, and elimination strategies. Recent years has seen a “stalling” in the progress made towards the reduction ...
  • Development of polyolefin bicomponent filaments as controlled release devices of volatile repellents for use in malaria vector control 
    Sibanda, Mthokozisi Mayibongwe; Leuteritz, Andreas; Brünig, Harald; Focke, Walter Wilhelm (American Institute of Physics, 2019-01-22)
    The work presented here describes the development of controlled release and affordable mosquito repellent bicomponent polymer filaments. These filaments may be used in the production of alternative malaria vector ...
  • Effect of DEET on the crystallinity of bicomponent poly(lactic acid) monofilaments 
    Ferreira, I.V.W. (Ignatius); Leuteritz, Andreas; Brunig, Harald; Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Androsch, Rene (American Institute of Physics, 2020-11)
    Reduction of malaria will require outdoor protection against infective mosquito bites. This might he provided by wearable mosquito repelling textiles, e.g., anklets that protect the lower limb regions. Towards this goal, ...
  • Malathion-filled trilayer polyolefin film for malaria vector control 
    Madzorera, Tatenda; Sibanda, Mthokozisi Mayibongwe; Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Madito, M.J. (Moshawe); Manyala, Ncholu I. (Elsevier, 2019-03)
    The emergence of pyrethroid resistance in mosquitoes is complicating malaria elimination efforts in Africa and alternative insecticides have to be considered for indoor residual spray. Unfortunately, the high volatility ...
  • Polypropylene-based long-life insecticide-treated mosquito netting 
    Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Van Pareen, Walter (Walter de Gruyter, 2011-10)
    Malaria causes approximately one million deaths a year and more than 300 million cases of severe illness. The World Health Organization (WHO) regards insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) as an important component in its ...
