Entomological impact of indoor residual spraying with pirimiphos-methyl: a pilot study in an area of low malaria transmission in Senegal

Abstract: BackgroundScaling-up of effective anti-malarial control strategies in Central-West region of Senegal has resulted in the sharp decline in malaria prevalence in this area. However, despite these strategies, residual malaria transmission has been observed in some villages (hot spots). The objective of this study was to assess the impact of indoor residual spraying (IRS) with pirimiphos-methyl on malaria transmission in hot spot areas.MethodsThe malaria vector population dynamics were monitored in each of the six… Show more

“…Thus, this spatial heterogeneity may contribute to the persistence of transmission at a significant level [3]. The detection of heterogeneity patterns in malaria endemic areas is therefore becoming an important element in recent approaches that seek to identify transmission bottlenecks [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Variations in heterogeneity have been observed even at a very local scale-for example, within 8-km radius areas in Kenya [7], at the village level in Senegal (KeurSocé) [14], and at the household level in Tanzania (Korogwe District) and Mali (Bandiagara) [9,15].…”
