International audience; A pilot study to test the efficacy of combining an organophosphate-based insecticide paint and pyrethroid-treated Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLINs) against pyrethroid-resistant malaria vector mosquitoes was performed in a real village setting in Burkina Faso. Paint Inesfly 5A IGR™, comprised of two organophosphates (OPs) and an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR), was tested in combination with pyrethroid-treated LLINs. Efficacy was assessed in terms of mortality for 12 months using Early Morning Collections of malaria vectors and 30-minute WHO bioassays. Resistance to pyrethroids and OPs was assessed by detecting the frequency of L1014F and L1014S kdr mutation…

Abstract Background A novel strategy applying an organophosphate-based insecticide paint on doors and windows in combination with long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) was tested for the control of pyrethroid-resistant malaria vectors in a village setting in Vallée du Kou, a rice-growing area west of Burkina Faso. Methods Insecticide Paint Inesfly 5A IGR™, comprised of two organophosphates and an insect growth regulator, was applied to doors and windows and tested in combination with pyrethroid-treated LLINs. The killing effect was monitored for 5 months by early morning collections of anophelines and other culicids. The residual efficacy was evaluated monthly by WHO bioassays using…
Evaluation of the efficacy of a new insecticide paint against malaria vectors

La malaria continúa siendo un problema de salud pública global. Se calcula que en el mundo hay 3.300 millones de personas en 97 países y territorios que corren el riesgo de padecer el paludismo, y que para 1.200 millones ese riesgo es elevado (WHO, 2014). El control de la malaria a gran escala está altamente basado en al control del vector, principalmente mediante el uso de mosquiteras tratadas con insecticidas de larga duración (LLINs), y en menor medida, el Rociamiento Residual Intradomiciliario. Todos los tratamientos recomendados de LLINs y la mayoría del Rociamiento Residual Intradomiciliario se basan en el uso de piretroides. La creciente resistencia de los vectores de malaria a los p…
