Journal ArticleDOI
Implications of insecticide resistance for malaria vector control with long-lasting insecticidal nets: a WHO-coordinated, prospective, international, observational cohort study
Immo Kleinschmidt,Immo Kleinschmidt,John S. Bradley,Tessa B. Knox,Abraham Mnzava,Hmooda Toto Kafy,Charles Mbogo,Bashir Adam Ismail,Jude D.

TL;DR: Irrespective of resistance, populations in malaria endemic areas should continue to use long-lasting insecticidal nets to reduce their risk of infection and the development of additional vector control tools should be prioritised to reduce the unacceptably high malaria burden.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial and temporal variation in the kdr allele L1014S in Anopheles gambiae s.s. and phenotypic variability in susceptibility to insecticides in Western Kenya
Derrick K Mathias,Eric Ochomo,Eric Ochomo,Francis Atieli,Francis Atieli,Maurice Ombok,Maurice Ombok,M. Nabie Bayoh,M. Nabie Bayoh,George Olang,George Olang,Damaris Muhia,Luna Kamau,John M. Vulule,Mary J. Hamel,William A. Hawley,Edward D. Walker,John E. Gimnig +17 more
TL;DR: The persistence of A. arabiensis, despite little or no detectable insecticide resistance, is likely due to behavioural traits such as outdoor feeding and/or feeding on non-human hosts by which this species avoids interaction with insecticide-treated nets.
Journal ArticleDOI
An online tool for mapping insecticide resistance in major Anopheles vectors of human malaria parasites and review of resistance status for the Afrotropical region
Tessa B. Knox,Elijah O. Juma,Eric Ochomo,Eric Ochomo,Helen Pates Jamet,Laban Ndungo,Patrick Chege,Nabie Bayoh,Raphael N’Guessan,Riann N. Christian,Riann N. Christian,Richard H. Hunt,Maureen Coetzee,Maureen Coetzee +13 more
TL;DR: The increasing pyrethroid and DDT resistance in Anopheles in the Afrotropical region is alarming and urgent attention should be afforded to testing An.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safety and mosquitocidal efficacy of high-dose ivermectin when co-administered with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine in Kenyan adults with uncomplicated malaria (IVERMAL): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
Menno R. Smit,Eric Ochomo,Ghaith Aljayyoussi,Titus K. Kwambai,Bernard O. Abong'o,Tao Chen,Teun Bousema,Teun Bousema,Hannah C Slater,David Waterhouse,Nabie Bayoh,John E. Gimnig,Aaron M. Samuels,Meghna Desai,Penelope A. Phillips-Howard,Simon Kariuki,Duolao Wang,Steve A. Ward,Feiko O. ter Kuile +18 more
TL;DR: Ivermectin at both doses assessed was well tolerated and reduced mosquito survival for at least 28 days after treatment, and this drug shows promise as a potential new tool for malaria elimination.
Journal ArticleDOI
The efficacy of long-lasting nets with declining physical integrity may be compromised in areas with high levels of pyrethroid resistance
Eric Ochomo,Eric Ochomo,Nabie Bayoh,Edward D. Walker,Bernard O. Abong'o,Maurice Ombok,Collins Ouma,Andrew K. Githeko,John Vulule,Guiyun Yan,John E. Gimnig +10 more
TL;DR: In areas with pyrethroid resistant vectors, LLINs with modest hole areas permit mosquito entry and feeding, providing little protection against the vectors, diminishing their presupposed lifetime effectiveness.
