IN the years 1925, 1926, 1927 there were in Kenya at least 10, 10, and 5 deaths, and in Uganda at least 19, 48, and 22 deaths from blackwater fever in the respective years. This is a deplorable waste of life, for it may be regarded as axiomatic that malaria and blackwater fever ...

Zooprophylaxis is the use of wild or domestic animals, which are not the reservoir host of a given disease, to divert the blood-seeking malaria vectors from human hosts. In this paper, we systematically reviewed zooprophylaxis to assess its efficacy as a
(zooprophylaxis). In northern Tanzania, the use of insecticide-treated animals have been reported to have a significant effect on killing 50% ofAn. arabiensismosquitoes up to 21 days for grazing cattle and 29 days for non-grazing cattle [21]. This information is vital when designing effective ...

Objective:To assess whether the development and implementation of a community health worker (CHW) project in rural Kenya was associated with an increase in knowledge about malaria and the use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) in children under five years of age. Methods:A baseline knowledge and...
We also assumed that these dynamics could be approximated by simulations with an initial screen occurring at the median gestational age at which women could be enroled into each trial (24 weeks in Kenya, 20 weeks in Ghana and 20 weeks in Malawi for women receiving four screens), with ...
(ITNs), anti-malarial chemoprophylaxis, and insecticide residual spraying found that among children < 5 years exposed to between 1 and 2 years of malaria control, mean relative risk for a haemoglobin concentration < 11 g/dL was 0.73 (95% CI 0.64–0.81), and for a haemoglobin < ...
