First, Africa s poor cannot afford insecticide treated bed nets and the correct medicines.

Prevention is best accomplished by modern anti malaria bed nets, which are treated with insecticide.

These include, among others, Insecticide treated nets (ITNs), larvicides, and vector source reduction through environmental management.

Consequently, Nigeria had adopted a poverty alleviation strategy that offered credit to rural women and universal vaccination against polio, measles and meningitis, as well as the distribution of insecticide treated mosquito nets to children in rural areas.

6. Calls upon the international community to support ways of stimulating the development of manufacturing capacity of insecticide treated nets in Africa and, in this connection, to encourage and facilitate the transfer of technology needed to make insecticide treated nets more effective and long lasting

The utilization of insecticide treated nets (ITN) is to be enhanced to 60 per cent by the year 2007.

Encouraging personal protection, i.e. preventing contact between people and vectors, such as through the use of insecticide treated mosquito netting by women's groups.

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

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

The first goal should be to distribute long lasting insecticide treated bed nets to all of Africa s rural poor within four years.

In such circumstances, the use of insecticide treated nets (ITNs) is a viable alternative to the use of DDT or pyrethroids for indoor residual spraying.

The number of African households that sleep under insecticide treated bed nets has risen from 3 to 53 , and malaria deaths have fallen by one third.

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.

Illness and deaths from malaria can be reduced sharply by using insecticide treated bed nets to stop the mosquitoes that transmit malaria, and by effective medicines when the illness strikes.

Furthermore, we have remained committed to health reform despite the many challenges the health sector is facing, and we continue to provide subsidized insecticide treated nets and drugs to needy communities.

And more than 100 million long lasting insecticide treated bed nets have been distributed in the fight against malaria. In total, studies suggest that Global Fund programs have saved five million lives.

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.

Long lasting insecticide treatment technologies are also being used to produce specific insecticide treated materials for personal protection or vector control.

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

There have been a number of studies comparing the cost of the current two main malaria vector control intervention tools, that is, insecticide treated nets and indoor residual spraying using either DDT or a substitute.

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

Yet the potential to control malaria was actually improving, thanks to several newly emerging technologies long lasting insecticide treated bed nets to prevent the mosquitos from biting, better diagnostics to identify infections, and a new generation of highly effective medicines.

Consider, similarly, the death and illness caused by malaria, which can be reduced very sharply through the use of mosquito nets for beds and anti malaria medicines.

No matter how many tons of medicine and mosquito nets we distribute, we know it will not be enough unless we invest in people and local capacity.

It reduces, by at least 5 times, the amount of insecticide needed to treat nets, as well as the amount released in the environment during washing.

In comparison, spending 3 billion annually on mosquito nets, environmentally safe indoor DDT sprays, and subsidies for effective new combination therapies could halve the total number of those infected within one decade.

We know that dissemination of mosquito nets and malaria prevention programs could cut malaria incidence in half by 2015 for about 3 billion annually less than 2 of the cost of Kyoto.

In areas with cross resistance between DDT and pyrethroids, it has been demonstrated that pyrethroid treated nets remain effective in preventing malaria.

Since the beginning of the program more than 1,000,000 people have benefited from the DREAM program via health education, water filtration, food supplies, mosquito nets, prevention programmes on television, radio and the workplace.

With more than 9,400 fans on Facebook, its call for action on March 1 helped collect 489 donations, including clothing, shoes, sheets, pillows, mosquito nets, kitchen utensils, and staple products like rice, oil, and corn.

Malaria can be controlled through newly designed long lasting mosquito nets and a new generation of effective medicines. Other tropical diseases also can be controlled, and practical technologies for safe drinking water can dramatically reduce diarrheal diseases.

First of all, the number of treated bed nets distributed has increased massively during the past three years, and tenfold in more than a dozen African countries.

For example, immunization contacts can be linked with other interventions such as the distribution of insecticide treated materials for the prevention of malaria, vitamin A supplements and information sharing on infant feeding.

UNICEF will work with partners to provide leadership in the provision of essential commodities, including pharmaceuticals, vaccines, micronutrients, insecticide treated materials for the prevention of malaria, and cold chain equipment and immunization supplies.

LLINs are factory treated to incorporate the insecticide within or bound to the netting fibres and resist multiple washes, thereby remaining effective for the entire lifespan on the net (that is between 4 5 years).

Insecticide resistance has grave implications for vector control.

8. Reiterates the need for expanded public private partnerships for malaria control and prevention, and in this context urges petroleum companies operating in Africa to consider providing polymer for the manufacture of mosquito nets at reduced prices as a contribution to rolling back malaria in Africa

You can distribute bed nets, and bed nets are very effective if you use them.

If you mosquito proof houses, when people get sick, they're sitting in bed or in mosquito proof hospitals, they're sitting in a hospital bed and the mosquitoes can't get to them.

Financial Safety Nets for Asia

Such success has seen islands like Aneityum mosquito free for the past decade.

Discarded and abandoned fishing nets are catching and killing marine turtles. In the sea, the nets drown turtles.

The insecticide impregnation is done during the manufacture of the materials.
