Impact of insecticide-treated bednets and indoor residual spraying in controlling populations of Phlebotomus duboscqi the vector of Leishmania major in Central Mali

摘要

BackgroundCutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is an endemic neglected tropical disease prevalent in several areas where seasonal malaria transmission is active. We assessed the effect of indoor residual spraying (IRS) and the mass distribution of long-lasting insecticide-treated bednets (LLINs) for malaria control on sand fly population diversity and abundance, and its impact on the risk of Leishmania transmission in the district of Baroueli, endemic for CL in Mali.
