High exposure to malaria vector bites despite high use of bednets in a setting of seasonal malaria in southwestern Mali: the urgent need for outdoor vector control strategies Open
Background Early evening and outdoor biting by vector mosquitoes undermines the effectiveness of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), as users of nets are exposed to vector biting whilst not under a net, both outdoors and indoors. This study a…

Evaluation of Attractive Targeted Sugar Baits, a new outdoor vector control strategy against malaria: Results from a cluster randomised open-label parallel arm controlled trial in Southwestern Mali Open
Overall, the trial did not demonstrate evidence of additional protection against malaria of ATSB compared to using ITN alone. Suboptimal coverage and maintenance of ATSB in good condition in the field may explain the lack of an interventio…

Resurgence of Malaria Transmission and Incidence after Withdrawal of Indoor Residual Spraying in the District of Koulikoro, Mali Open
In Mali, malaria vector control relies mostly on long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying (IRS). From 2008 to 2016, an IRS program was implemented in the district of Koulikoro. After a significant reduction in malaria in…
