TL;DR: Spatial targeted vector control effectively reduced Anopheles density and transmission in this highland district and could prevent the emergence and spread of an epidemic from these high risk foci.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial targeted vector control is able to reduce malaria prevalence in the highlands of Burundi.
Natacha Protopopoff,Wim Van Bortel,Tanguy Marcotty,Michel Van Herp,Peter Maes,Dismas Baza,Umberto D'Alessandro,Marc Coosemans +7 more
TL;DR: Investment in targeted and regular control measures associated with effective case management should be able to control malaria in the highlands of Burundi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vector control in a malaria epidemic occurring within a complex emergency situation in Burundi: a case study.
Natacha Protopopoff,Natacha Protopopoff,Michel Van Herp,Peter Maes,Tony Reid,Dismas Baza,Umberto D'Alessandro,Wim Van Bortel,Marc Coosemans,Marc Coosemans +9 more
TL;DR: Indoor spraying was feasible and resulted in high coverage despite being a logistically complex intervention in the Burundian context (scattered houses and emergency situation), however, it had little impact on the prevalence of malaria infection, possibly because it was implemented after the epidemic's peak.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-lasting insecticide-treated net usage in eastern Sierra Leone - the success of free distribution.
Sibylle Gerstl,Sophie Dunkley,Ahmed Mukhtar,Peter Maes,Martin De Smet,Samuel Baker,Jacob Maikere +6 more
TL;DR: The aim of this follow‐up study was to measure LLIN usage and ownership in the project area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevention and control of cholera with household and community water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) interventions: A scoping review of current international guidelines.
Lauren D’Mello-Guyett,Lauren D’Mello-Guyett,Karin Gallandat,Rafael Van den Bergh,Dawn Taylor,Gregory Bulit,Dominique Legros,Peter Maes,Francesco Checchi,Oliver Cumming +9 more
TL;DR: Recent evidence suggests that interventions for effective cholera control and response to epidemics should focus on case-centred approaches and within-household transmission.
