Gari, Taye; Loha, Eskindir; Deressa, Wakgari; Solomon, Tarekegn; Atsbeha, Hanibale; Assegid, Meselech; Hailu, Alemayehu; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-03-14)Introduction: As part of a field trial (PACTR201411000882128) to provide evidence on the combined use of long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spray for malaria prevention, we measured haemoglobin values among ... -
Bed nets used to protect against malaria do not last long in a semi-arid area of Ethiopia: A cohort study
Solomon, Tarekegn; Loha, Eskindir; Deressa, Wakgari; Balkew, Meshesha; Gari, Taye; Overgaard, Hans Jørgen; Lindtjorn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06-20)Background: Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are a key tool for malaria prevention and control. Currently, the recommended serviceable life of an LLIN is 3 years under field conditions. However, field studies show ... -
Combining long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying for malaria prevention in Ethiopia: Study protocol for a cluster randomized controlled trial
Deressa, Wakgari; Loha, Eskindir; Balkew, Meshesha; Hailu, Alemayehu; Gari, Taye; Kenea, Oljira; Overgaard, Hans Jørgen; Gebremichael, Teshome; Robberstad, Bjarne; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-01-12)Background: Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are the main malaria prevention interventions in Ethiopia. There is conflicting evidence that the combined application of both interventions ... -
Combining long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying for malaria prevention in Ethiopia: study protocol for a cluster randomized controlled trial
Deressa, Wakgari; Loha, Eskindir; Balkew, Meshesha; Desalegne, Alemayehu; Gari, Taye; Gebremichael, Teshome; Kenea, Oljira; Jima, Daddi; Robberstad, Bjarne; Overgaard, Hans J.; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2014-09-22) -
Equity in long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying for malaria prevention in a rural South Central Ethiopia
Hailu, Alemayehu; Lindtjørn, Bernt; Deressa, Wakgari; Gari, Taye; Loha, Eskindir; Robberstad, Bjarne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07-16)Background: While recognizing the recent achievement in the global fight against malaria, the disease remains a challenge to health systems in low-income countries. Beyond widespread consensuses about prioritizing malaria ... -
Low use of long-lasting insecticidal nets for malaria prevention in south-central Ethiopia: A community-based cohort study
Shanka, Tarekegn Solomon; Loha, Eskindir; Deressa, Wakgari; Gari, Taye; Overgaard, Hans Jørgen; Lindtjorn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01-10)Introduction: A decline in malaria morbidity and mortality has been documented in Ethiopia since 2005 following a scale-up of the distribution of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). However, universal access to LLINs ... -
Malaria incidence and entomological findings in an area targeted for a cluster-randomized controlled trial to prevent malaria in Ethiopia: results from a pilot study
Gari, Taye; Kenea, Oljira; Loha, Eskindir; Deressa, Wakgari; Hailu, Alemayehu; Balkew, Meshesha; Gebre-Michael, Teshome; Robberstad, Bjarne; Overgaard, Hans J; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-03-08)Background: This study was part of the work to prepare for a cluster-randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of combining indoor residual spraying and long-lasting insecticidal nets on malaria incidence. A pilot ... -
Malaria increased the risk of stunting and wasting among young children in Ethiopia: Results of a cohort study
Gari, Taye; Loha, Eskindir; Deressa, Wakgari; Solomon, Tarekegn; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-01-11)Introduction: Given the high prevalence of malnutrition in a malaria-endemic setting, improving nutritional status could serve as a tool to prevent malaria. However, the relationship between the two conditions remains ... -
Malaria, anaemia and undernutrition in a drought-affected area of the Rift Valley of Ethiopia: Experiences from a trial to prevent malaria
Gari, Taye (Doctoral thesis, 2018-06-22)Background: In Ethiopia, malaria, anaemia and undernutrition are common childhood health problems. The country is planning to reduce these conditions to a level where they are not a public health problem. Meanwhile, for ... -
Spatiotemporal clustering of malaria in southern-central Ethiopia: A community- based cohort study
Shanka, Tarekegn Solomon; Loha, Eskindir; Deressa, Wakgari; Gari, Taye; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-30)Introduction: Understanding the spatiotemporal clustering of malaria transmission would help target interventions in settings of low malaria transmission. The aim of this study was to assess whether malaria infections were ...
