INTRODUCTION
Malaria is a major public health problem in Nigeria, with adverse outcomes on the poor, pregnant women and children living in rural communities. A major component of current intervention in roll back malaria (RBM) initiative is vector control and insecticide-treated nets (ITNs).
AIMS AND OBJECTIVE
This research studied the impact of free distribution of ITNs on malaria parasitemia in a rural community in Nigeria.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This is a longitudinal survey involving 990 pregnant and nursing mothers who received free ITNs between February 2007 and September 2008. Blood samples were collected at contact, then every 2 months to check for malaria parasites using standard methods.
RESULT
There was a sustained but insignificant rise in asymptomatic malaria parasitemia post-distribution of ITNs.
CONCLUSION
We conclude that ITN intervention remains important in malaria prophylaxis but must be complemented with awareness campaigns and other vector control strategies.
引言
疟疾是尼日利亚的一个主要公共卫生问题，对农村社区的贫困人口、孕妇和儿童产生不良影响。当前疟疾防控（RBM）倡议的一个主要组成部分是病媒控制和经杀虫剂处理的蚊帐（ITN）。
目的
本研究探讨了在尼日利亚一个农村社区免费发放经杀虫剂处理的蚊帐对疟疾寄生虫血症的影响。
材料与方法
这是一项纵向调查，涉及990名在2007年2月至2008年9月期间领取免费经杀虫剂处理蚊帐的孕妇和哺乳期母亲。在接触时采集血样，然后每2个月采集一次，使用标准方法检查疟原虫。
结果
发放经杀虫剂处理的蚊帐后，无症状疟疾寄生虫血症持续但不显著上升。
结论
我们得出结论，经杀虫剂处理的蚊帐干预在疟疾预防中仍然很重要，但必须辅以提高认识运动和其他病媒控制策略。
