1.
An observational study evaluating the epidemiological and entomological impacts of piperonyl butoxide insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) compared to a combination of indoor residual spraying (IRS) plus standard pyrethroid-only ITNs in Amhara Region,...
Davis K, Worku A, Balkew M, Mumba P, Chibsa S, Tongren J, et al.
BMJ Glob Health . 2025 Jan; 10(1). PMID: 39880414
Introduction: National malaria programmes must weigh the relative benefits of different vector control and elimination tools to prioritise resource allocation with the greatest impact. This study assesses the epidemiological and...

Evaluation of the residual efficacy and physical durability of five long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) in Senegal
Diouf E, Diouf M, Dieme C, Swamidoss I, Ngom E, Senghor M, et al.
Malar J . 2022 Jul; 21(1):210. PMID: 35780153
Background: The preventive and curative strategies of malaria are based on promoting the use of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and treating confirmed cases with artemisinin-based combination therapy. These strategies have...

A random survey of the prevalence of falsified and substandard antibiotics in the Lao PDR
Tabernero P, Swamidoss I, Mayxay M, Khanthavong M, Phonlavong C, Vilayhong C, et al.
J Antimicrob Chemother . 2022 Feb; 77(6):1770-1778. PMID: 35137095
Objectives: In 2012, a stratified random survey, using mystery shoppers, was conducted to investigate the availability and quality of antibiotics sold to patients in the private sector in five southern...
4.
A Comparison of Surface and Total Deltamethrin Levels of Insecticide-Treated Nets and Estimation of the Effective Insecticidal Lifetime
Green M, Maxyay M, Pongvongsa T, Phompida S, Swamidoss I, Smith S, et al.
Am J Trop Med Hyg . 2021 Nov; 106(1):334-337. PMID: 34781252
The ability to anticipate the useful lifetime of an insecticide-treated mosquito net (ITN) would provide a proactive approach for planning net distribution programs. Therefore, we used an exponential decay model...
5.
Attrition, physical integrity and insecticidal activity of long-lasting insecticidal nets in sub-Saharan Africa and modelling of their impact on vectorial capacity
Briet O, Koenker H, Norris L, Wiegand R, Vanden Eng J, Thackeray A, et al.
Malar J . 2020 Aug; 19(1):310. PMID: 32859210
Background: Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are the primary malaria prevention and control intervention in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa. While LLINs are expected to last at least 3 years under...

Monitoring the durability of the long-lasting insecticidal nets MAGNet and Royal Sentry in three ecological zones of Mozambique
Abilio A, Obi E, Koenker H, Babalola S, Saifodine A, Zulliger R, et al.
Malar J . 2020 Jun; 19(1):209. PMID: 32552819
Background: Malaria prevention with long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) has seen a tremendous scale-up in sub-Saharan Africa in the last decade. To sustain this success, it is important to understand how...

Monitoring and Predicting Net Longevity by Measuring Surface Levels of Insecticide: Implementing a Faster, Cost Effective, Nondestructive, and Field-Ready Alternative to the World Health Organization Cone Test Bioassay
Calle D, Rua-Uribe G, Osorio L, Pineros-Jimenez J, Swamidoss I, Vizcaino L, et al.
Am J Trop Med Hyg . 2018 Aug; 99(4):1003-1005. PMID: 30141397
An important component of malaria control programs is the ability to assess the effectiveness of the insecticide in insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) during normal usage. The standard technique to measure insecticidal...

Quality of artemisinin-based combination formulations for malaria treatment: prevalence and risk factors for poor quality medicines in public facilities and private sector drug outlets in Enugu, Nigeria
Kaur H, Allan E, Mamadu I, Hall Z, Ibe O, Sherbiny M, et al.
PLoS One . 2015 May; 10(5):e0125577. PMID: 26018221
Background: Artemisinin-based combination therapies are recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as first-line treatment for Plasmodium falciparum malaria, yet medication must be of good quality for efficacious treatment. A...
