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 ... -

Deressa, Wakgari; Loha, Eskindir; Balkew, Meshesha; Desalegne, Alemayehu; Gari, Taye; Gebremichael, Teshome; Kenea, Oljira; Jima, Daddi; Robberstad, Bjarne; Overgaard, Hans J.; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Conference poster, 2014-09-22) -
Comparison of two adult mosquito sampling methods with human landing catches in south-central Ethiopia
Kenea, Oljira; Balkew, Meshesha; Tekie, Habte; Gebre-Michael, Teshome; Deressa, Wakgari; Loha, Eskindir; Lindtjørn, Bernt; Overgaard, Hans Jørgen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-01-13)Background: The human landing catch (HLC) is the standard reference method for measuring human exposure to mosquito bites. However, HLC is labour-intensive, exposes collectors to infectious mosquito bites and is subjected ... -
Human-biting activities of Anopheles species in south-central Ethiopia
Kenea, Oljira; Balkew, Meshesha; Tekie, Habte; Gebre-Michael, Teshome; Deressa, Wakgari; Loha, Eskindir; Lindtjørn, Bernt; Overgaard, Hans J (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-09-30)Background: Indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are the key malaria vector control interventions in Ethiopia. The success of these interventions rely on their efficacy to repel or kill ... -
Impact of combining indoor residual spraying and long-lasting insecticidal nets on Anopheles arabiensis in Ethiopia: Results from a cluster randomized controlled trial
Kenea, Oljira; Balkew, Meshesha; Tekie, Habte; Deressa, Wakgari; Loha, Eskindir; Lindtjorn, Bernt; Overgaard, Hans Jørgen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-24)Background: Indoor residual house spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are the key front-line malaria vector interventions against Anopheles arabiensis, the sole primary malaria vector in Ethiopia. ... -
Long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying may not be sufficient to eliminate malaria in a low malaria incidence area: Results from a cluster randomized controlled trial in Ethiopia
Loha, Eskindir; Deressa, Wakgari; Ayana, Taye Gari; Balkew, Meshesha; Kenea, Oljira; Shanka, Tarekegn Solomon; Hailu, Alemayehu; Robberstad, Bjarne; Roro, Meselech Assegid; Overgaard, Hans Jørgen; Lindtjorn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04-18)Background Conflicting results exist on the added benefit of combining long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) with indoor residual spraying (IRS) to control malaria infection. The main study objective was to evaluate whether ... -
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 ...
