杀虫剂在农村耕作中发挥着关键作用;然而，过度使用或滥用杀虫剂对疟疾病媒控制政策产生了负面影响。这项研究是在科特迪瓦南部的农业社区中进行的，目的是确定当地农民使用哪些杀虫剂，以及杀虫剂与农民对疟疾的看法之间的关系。了解杀虫剂的使用可能有助于制定有关蚊虫控制和杀虫剂管理的宣传计划。对10个村的1399户农户进行了问卷调查。农民接受了采访，他们的教育，耕作方法（如作物种植，杀虫剂的使用），疟疾的看法，以及他们使用的不同的国内蚊子控制策略。根据一些预先定义的家庭资产，估计每个家庭的社会经济地位（SES）。不同变量之间的统计学关联进行了计算，显示出显着的风险因素。农民的教育程度与其社会经济地位显著相关（p < 0.0001）。绝大多数（88.82%）居民认为蚊虫是疟疾的主要致病因素，疟疾知识水平与文化程度呈正相关（OR = 2.04，95%CI：1.35，3.10）。室内化学品的使用与家庭的社会经济地位、教育水平、驱虫蚊帐和杀虫剂的使用密切相关（p < 0.0001）。据发现，农民普遍在室内使用拟除虫菊酯杀虫剂，并使用这种杀虫剂保护作物。我们的研究表明，教育水平仍然是影响农民使用杀虫剂和控制疟疾意识的关键因素。我们建议，更好的沟通量身定制的教育水平，包括社会经济地位，控制供应和获得化学产品，应考虑在设计运动时使用农药和病媒传播疾病控制当地社区。在线版本包含补充材料，可通过10.1186/s12889-022-14446-5获得。
Insecticides play a key role in rural farming; however, their over- or misuse has been linked with a negative impact on malaria vector control policies. This study was conducted amongst agricultural communities in Southern Côte d’Ivoire to identify which insecticides are used by local farmers and how it relates to the perception of farmers on malaria. Understanding the use of insecticides may help in designing awareness programme on mosquito control and pesticides management. A questionnaire was administered to 1399 farming households across ten villages. Farmers were interviewed on their education, farming practices (e.g. crops cultivated, insecticides use), perception of malaria, and the different domestic strategies of mosquito control they use. Based on some pre-defined household assets, the socioeconomic status (SES) of each household was estimated. Statistical associations were calculated between different variables, showing significant risk factors. The educational level of farmers was significantly associated with their SES (p < 0.0001). Most of the householders (88.82%) identified mosquitoes as the principal cause of malaria, with good knowledge of malaria resulting as positively related to high educational level (OR = 2.04; 95%CI: 1.35, 3.10). The use of indoor chemical compounds was strongly associated to the SES of the households, their education level, their use of ITNs and insecticide in agricultural (p < 0.0001). Indoor application of pyrethroid insecticides was found to be widespread among farmers as well as the use of such insecticide for crops protection. Our study shows that the education level remains the key factor influencing the use of insecticides by farmers and their awareness of malaria control. We suggest that better communication tailored to education level and including SES, controlled availability and access to chemical products, should be considered when designing campaigns on use of pesticides and vector borne disease control for local communities.
