(BMC, 2023-03-16)BACKGROUND : The primary malaria vector-control interventions, indoor residual spraying and long-lasting insecticidal nets, are effective against indoor biting and resting mosquito species. Consequently, outdoor biting and ...
-
(Springer, 2023-11)Some physical properties of ideal solutions, e.g. the molar volume and the molar refraction, vary linearly with composition. Others can be expressed, either as ratios or as products of two other properties which vary ...
-
(MDPI, 2023-02-17)Malaria vector surveillance provides important data to inform the effective planning of vector control interventions at a local level. The aim of this study was to determine the species diversity and abundance, biting ...
-
(American Chemical Society, 2024-03)Please read abstract in the article.
-
(Springer, 2023-07)This manuscript reports the investigation of the polymorphic behaviour of fipronil using a systematic comparison of the thermochemical and structural properties of different crystal forms obtained in this study as well as ...
-
(Elsevier, 2024-02)BACKGROUND : Pyrethroid insecticides use for indoor residual spraying (IRS) in malaria-endemic areas results in high levels of exposure to local populations. Pyrethroids may cause asthma and respiratory allergies but ...
-
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2024-01)Please read abstract in the article.
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2023-08)BACKGROUND : Dengue is the most common and widespread mosquito-borne arboviral disease globally estimated to cause >390 million infections and >20,000 deaths annually. There are no effective preventive drugs and the newly ...
-
(American Chemical Society, 2023-11-07)Efficacy data from diverse chemical libraries, screened against the various stages of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, including asexual blood stage (ABS) parasites and transmissible gametocytes, serve as a ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2024)Please read abstract in the article.
-
(MDPI, 2023-02-23)The prevalence and distribution of African alphaviruses such as chikungunya have increased in recent years. Therefore, a better understanding of the local distribution of alphaviruses in vectors across the African continent ...
-
(Nature Research, 2023)In South Africa, the population at risk of malaria is 10% (around six million inhabitants) and concern only three provinces of which Limpopo Province is the most affected, particularly in Vhembe District. As the elimination ...
-
(BMC, 2023-05)BACKGROUND : Over the past decade, implementation of multiple malaria control strategies in most countries has largely contributed to advance the global malaria elimination agenda. Nevertheless, in some regions, seasonal ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2022)The global Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in public health, political, scientific and private sector response at an unprecedented scale. However, this shift in focus has caused widespread disruption ...
-
(BMC, 2022-10)BACKGROUND : Malaria continues to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Africa and conventional malaria control strategies, such as indoor residual spraying and insecticide-treated bed nets, have limited ...
-
(Springer, 2022-06)BACKGROUND : Independent emergence and spread of artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria have recently been confirmed in Africa, with molecular markers associated with artemisinin resistance increasingly detected. ...
-
(BMC, 2022-04)BACKGROUND : Although it is a preventable disease, malaria continues to present one of the major global health challenges. The disease is especially deadly to children under the age of 5 years. This is partly due to the ...
-
(MDPI, 2022-02-16)Mosquitoes are vectors of many severe diseases, including malaria, yellow as well as dengue fever, and lymphatic filariasis. The use of synthetic chemical insecticides for mosquito control has been associated with ...
-
(Elsevier, 2022-11)Hypospadias is the ectopic opening of the urethra on the penis or scrotum. Exposure to estrogenic and/or anti-androgenic chemicals in utero may play an etiologic role. DDT and the pyrethroids cypermethrin and deltamethrin, ...
-
(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2022-07)BACKGROUND : Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) or pyrethroid insecticides are sprayed inside dwellings for malaria vector control, resulting in high exposure to millions of people, including pregnant women. These ...
