Objectif : La mise en œuvre d’une stratégie de lutte efficiente et réussie requiert une évaluation récurrente des rapports qu’entretiennent les populations locales avec la maladie. L’objectif de cette étude était d’évaluer les connaissances, les attitudes et les pratiques (CAP) sur le traitement et la prévention du paludisme. Méthodologie et résult...
The study was conducted in December 2019 and February 2020 in two areas of Ayos city, Akoun (urban site) and Ebabodo (peri-urban site), in order to study the spatial distribution of members of the Anopheles gambiae complex, to determine their resistance status and to investigate the occurrence and distribution of the Kdr mutation. Mosquitoes were c...
The aim of the present study was to determine the dynamics of malaria transmission and the sensitivity of its vectors in order to better plan vector control programme. Mosquitoes captured on volunteers, from September 2019 to June 2020, at the rythm of 2 consecutive nights every three months, were identified according to morphological and molecular...
Objective: The implementation of an efficient and successful control strategy requires a recurrent evaluation of the relationship between local populations and the disease. The objective of this study was to assess knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) on the treatment and prevention of malaria. Methodology and results: The study was carried out...
La lutte anti moustique au Cameroun repose en grande partie sur une bonne utilisation des
mois après la distribution des moustiquaires.L’intégrité physique des MILDA a été
d’Anopheles gambiaes.l. non gorgées âgées de deux à cinq jours, élevées en insectarium et
MILDA ont été effectués suivant le protocole des tests en cône en utilisant des femelles...
Background: A good knowledge of Aedes diversity and their biting cycle is necessary for better planning of vector control interventions against arboviruses diseases. This study aims to determine the diversity of Aedes and the biting cycle of Aedes albopictus in urban and suburban areas of Douala, Kribi, and Ayos to propose a method for vector contr...
Background. The effectiveness of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) in controlling malaria vectors is hampered by the resistance of anopheles to insecticides. A good knowledge of the breeding sites and of the resistance profile of the vectors could facilitate the development of an appropriate control strategy....

The objective of this survey was to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practices the head of household had concerning malaria in the urban and rural zones of Kribi. The survey was conducted from 17-27 June 2019 in 3 and 5 quarters respectively in the urban and rural areas of Kribi by means of a standard questionnaire given to the household heads...
Mosquito control in Cameroon relies largely on the proper use of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs). It is necessary to monitor their effectiveness in order to propose corrective measures to improve the strategy. The aim of this work was to determine the physical integrity and effectiveness of LLINs (Interceptor brand) on Anopheles gambiae s.l....
Les échecs de lutte antipaludique enregistrés ces dernières années sont étroitement liés à la rareté d’informations relatives aux rapports qu’entretiennent les populations avec la maladie. L’objectif de cette enquête était d’évaluer les connaissances, attitudes et pratiques des chefs de ménages sur le paludisme dans les zones urbaine et rurale de K...
Anopheles hancocki est l’un des vecteurs secondaires du paludisme dont l’écologie larvaire est encore méconnue dans le bloc forestier sud-camerounais. Cette information est pourtant fondamentale pour la mise en place d’une stratégie de contrôle efficace là où ce moustique se fait le vecteur des plasmodiums responsables des paludismes. La présente é...
