Almost thirty years after expiry control spraying with DDT and other insecticides, malaria, the widespread use of within the World Health Organization (WHO) today announced that this intervention will again play an important role in efforts to combat the disease. WHO now recommends the use of indoor residual spraying (IRS), not only in epidemic areas, but also in areas with constants and high malaria transmission, including throughout Africa.
"The scientific and programmatic evidence clearly this re-evaluation supports", said Dr. Anarfi Asamoa Baah, WHO Assistant Director-General for HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria."Indoor residual spraying is useful to quickly the number of infections by malaria-carrying mosquitoes to reduzieren.IRS proved just as inexpensive preventive measures such as other malaria and DDT is no risk to health when properly."
WHO promoted actively indoor residual spraying for malaria control until the early 1980s, if increased health and environmental concerns around the Organization to promote its use to stop DDT and caused to other means of prevention focus instead.Extensive research and testing has shown since that well-managed indoor residual spraying programs by using DDT be harm to animals or people.
"We need based take a position on the science and the data", Dr Arata Kochi, Director of the WHO's said"malaria programs global."One of the best tools we have against malaria is in residual house spray. "The dozen insecticides WHO as approved safe for house spraying is the most effective DDT."
Indoor spray residual, is to kill the application of long-acting insecticides on the walls and roofs of the houses and pet shelters to malaria-carrying mosquitoes landing on these areas.
Indoor spraying is like a giant mosquito net on an entire budget around the clock protection, grant, said U.S. Senator Tom Coburn, a leading advocate for global malaria control efforts. "Finally lead to the question is unique with WHO we can junk e science myths that have provided aid and comfort to the real enemy - mosquitoes - to rest the lives of more than 300 million children each year to compromise."
Views on the use of insecticides for indoor protection from malaria have changed in recent years. Environmental defense, the DDT campaign in the 1960s started, the interiors of DDT for malaria control, such as the Sierra now supports Club and endangered wildlife trust.The before recently launched President's Malaria initiative (PMI) last year announced that it would fund spraying on the inside also DDT walls of households, to prevent the disease.
"I expect that all 15 country programs of President of Bush's $1.2 billion commitment to malaria deaths in half will cut contain significant indoor residual spraying activities including many who use the DDT", said Admiral R. Timothy Ziemer, President's Malaria initiative Coordinator."Because it is relatively inexpensive and very effective, USAID supports the spraying of houses with insecticides as part of a balanced and comprehensive malaria prevention and treatment program."
Programmatic evidence shows that the correct and timely use of indoor residual spraying can reduce malaria transmission by up to 90 percent. In the past could India DDT effectively indoor residual spray to use to drastically cut the number of malaria cases and deaths.South Africa has again reintroduced DDT for indoor residual malaria case fatality low keeping numbers on an all-time and malaria are elimination towards sprühen.Heute, 14 countries in sub-Saharan Africa use IRS and 10 use of DDT.
At today's Press Conference of WHO calls all programmes of malaria control throughout the world to develop and insecticides outline a clear statement your position on indoor spraying with long lasting as DDT, specify where and how syringes carried out guidelines and how they will offer all possible will support in accordance with the WHO to speed up and manage this intervention effectively.
"" All development agencies and endemic countries must in accordance with Act WHO position on the use of DDT for indoor residual spraying, ", said Richard TREN, Director of Africa fight against malaria.""Donors must help in particular, WHO provide technical and programmatic support so that these interventions are used properly.
Indoor spray residual, is one of the most important interventions WHO now is promoting, to control and eliminate malaria worldwide.A second is the widespread use of insecticide-treated mosquito nets.While the use of mosquito nets long was by WHO, the recent development of "Long lasting insecticides networks has encouraged" (LLINs) has dramatically improved their usefulness.Unlike its predecessors the long lasting networks in buckets of insecticide every six months re-dipped must be how you remain in effect for five years without reprocessing.
Finally are for those who become ill, more effective drugs ultimately with malaria zunehmend.Im unlike previous antimalarials that rendered useless in many regions due to drug resistance to artemisinin are now combination therapies Act () empfohlen.Diese life-saving drugs increasingly more widespread in the whole Welt.Im January of this year, WHO taken strict measures to future resistance to avoid medication against malaria by banning the use of malaria monotherapy haben.Ein example of the negative consequences of drug resistance is evident in the threat that represents it for intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp), a crucial strategic intervention to protect pregnant women from the effects of malaria.
Possible financing scale up the availability of all three of these strategic interventions has in recent years through the establishment of the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and malaria, to increase World Bank plans significantly increased funding for malaria and the introduction of President's Malaria initiative.
"With serious money finally getting available to combat malaria, it urgent as ever, WHO offers sound technical advice, program help ensure timely and effective use of those resources", said Dr. Kochi.
Every year more than 500 million people suffer acute malaria, what more than 1 million Todesfälle.Sind at least 86 per cent of these deaths in sub-Saharan Afrika.weltweit an estimated 3,000 children and infants of malaria every day and 10,000 pregnant women from malaria in Africa every year die sterben.Malaria is disproportionately poor man almost 60 percent of malaria cases that occur among the poorest 20 percent of the world population.
