Influence of Partial and Full Coverage on Long Lasting Deltamethrin Treated Nets (“δLLIN”) on Plasmodium falciparum Parasitaemia in 2 Villages around Balombo Town: OAJBS Publishers
Influence of Partial and Full Coverage on Long Lasting Deltamethrin Treated Nets (“δLLIN”) on Plasmodium falciparum Parasitaemia in 2 Villages around Balombo Town (Benguela Province, Angola) by P Carnevale* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)
During
two consecutive years 40 random cross sectional parasitological surveys were
done in 4 villages around Balombo town (Benguela Province, Angola): 2 villages
receiving classical Long lasting deltamethrin treated nets Perma©Net 2.0 and 2
villages remaining as control. The LLIN distribution were done in 2 steps:
first year at least one net/house; second year one net/sleeping unit to get
full coverage. The current analysis focus on Plasmodium falciparum infections
(prevalence, parasitaemia) in children ≤5 years considered as “at risk group”.
Plasmodial infections were observed in 1059 of the 2806 thick blood films made
in the field (=37.7%) on symptomless patients then microscopically examined in
the medical department of the Angolan Sonamet Company in the framework of its
“Malaria Control Programme”. P. falciparum prevalence actually significantly
decreased from year 1 (“partial coverage”) to year 2 (“full coverage”) in LLIN
villages (from #41% to #34%) but a significant decrease was also noticed in
control villages (from #42% to #24%) where the drop was higher than in LLIN
villages.
