You don't always use them for that. People fish with them.

Although no explicit mention is made of the provision of insecticide treated netting to protect humans against the bite of the mosquito that transmits malaria, such measures would also be necessary to combat the spread of that disease.

A single bite from a malaria bearing mosquito is enough to end a child's life for want of a bed net or 1 treatment.

And yet, only a quarter of kids at risk sleep under a net.

However, a majority of populations at risk of malaria cannot afford the nets at the current prices.

For malaria, he suggested the development of vaccines, herbal preparations, insecticide, impregnated nets and combined therapy.

The sickness is being contained, with a reduction of 12.5 per cent in the number of localities where anopheles are present compared with 2002.

And so what you can see is that just the mosquito proofed housing, and nothing else, caused the eradication of malaria.

11. Calls upon the international community to support investment in the development of new anti malarial medicines and insecticides for the effective control of malaria in view of the challenging resistance of the parasite to anti malarial medicines and the resistance of mosquitoes to insecticides

The use of ITNs is a method of choice in high malaria transmission areas (stable malaria areas), which are characterized by high and year round malaria transmission, and a relatively high level of immunity in the human population.

The use of insecticide treated nets to combat malaria has expanded in some 35 African countries as well as in parts of Asia and the Pacific, with a focus on promoting access among the groups most at risk.

But DDT sprayed on local homes, there's nothing better to eliminate malaria, besides insect DDT impregnated mosquito nets.

Other measures included resupplying cold chain systems, providing insecticide treated nets (ITNs) to guard against malaria and supplying emergency drug kits.

Sleeping under a bed net has proved to be a cheap and effective way to prevent malaria, but only 19 per cent of children under the age of five in the least developed countries slept under a bed net, and 36 per cent of children under the age of five with fever received antimalarial drugs in 2003.22 Free distribution of malaria bed nets has increased in 28 African least developed countries, but only Guinea Bissau met the 2000 Abuja Summit bed nets target in 2002.

We already know how to kill malaria, but some people come to you and say, You have your millions. How about bed nets?

Long lasting nets have now been developed, and the partners in the Roll Back Malaria initiative are working to increase both production capacity and demand.

This is important, because it tells us that if you have moderate biting densities, you can eradicate malaria by mosquito proofing houses.

Insecticide treated nets (ITNs) and materials if properly implemented and used, ITNs are as effective as residual spraying in preventing malaria and can be deployed in various epidemiological settings.

This project used remote sensing and GIS technologies to discriminate between villages at high and low risk for malaria transmission, as determined by landscape characteristics that were correlated to the probable future abundance of Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes.

Similarly, the Chinese government, the World Bank, and the Islamic Development Bank have recently announced plans to scale up their contributions to the fight against malaria. A major new citizens initiative called Malaria No More is raising private funds to distribute anti malaria nets.

8. Calls upon the international community, inter alia, by helping to meet the financial needs of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and through country led initiatives with adequate international support, to create conditions for full access to insecticide treated mosquito nets, insecticides for indoor residual spraying for malaria control and effective antimalarial combination treatments, including through the free distribution of such nets where appropriate

Africa turns out to be especially unlucky, because it has a combination of high temperatures and the mosquitos that are likely to transmit the disease. As a result, Africa accounts for 90 of all malaria deaths in the world including roughly two million children per year.

In the fight against malaria, my Government has distributed free treated mosquito nets to pregnant women and children below the age of five.

We've separated the males from the females.

If there's a male mosquito that you release, and if there's a female around, that male will find the female.

These range from the free mass distribution of malaria bed nets and effective antimalaria medicines to the expansion of home grown school meal programmes using locally produced food and the elimination of user fees for primary education and health services.

These are mosquitoes who carry the malarial parasite which infests our blood when the mosy has had a free meal at our expense.

20. Encourages the producers of long lasting insecticide treated nets to accelerate technology transfer to developing countries, and encourages malaria endemic countries, including with the support of the International Finance Corporation, to explore and pursue possible opportunities to scale up production of long lasting insecticide treated nets

21. Encourages the producers of long lasting insecticide treated nets to accelerate technology transfer to developing countries, and the World Bank and regional development funds to consider supporting malaria endemic countries to establish factories to scale up production of long lasting insecticide treated nets

Using Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) images from 1985 and 1987, the project team predicted, with an accuracy of 90 per cent, which rice fields would become heavy producers of malaria carrying mosquitoes two months before peak mosquito production.

Warmer, wetter weather will improve conditions for the malaria parasite. Most estimates suggest that global warming will put 3 more of the earth s population at risk of catching malaria by 2100.

UNICEF support to malaria prevention and control is focused on increasing the use of ITNs, community awareness and better access to effective treatment.

It is much riskier to give a 50,000 dollar loan than it is to give a 500 dollar loan.

5. Encourages all African countries that have not yet done so to implement the recommendations of the Abuja Summit to reduce or waive taxes and tariffs for nets and other products needed for malaria control, both to reduce the price of nets to consumers and to stimulate free trade in insecticide treated nets

A mosquito

Consider his foundation s approach to malaria, which focuses on bed nets, a low tech, only modestly effective intervention, and on the development of a vaccine, a high tech solution that has eluded intensive efforts for decades. This approach dismisses an old, cheap, and safe way to control the vector the Anopheles mosquito that spreads the disease the chemical DDT.

Do you give the nets for free to maximize coverage, or do you make people pay in order to make sure that they really value them?

It's also tried to save children by doing other things giving vitamin A drops, giving measles shots, giving bed nets against malaria even during some of these campaigns.

Well, the good news is, people, if they have the bed nets, will use the bed nets regardless of how they got it.

Skeeter Hawk

They're not going to use them, or at least they're not going to use them as bed nets, maybe as fishing nets.
